摘要
With the rapid growth of real-world graphs,the size of which can easily exceed the on-chip(board)storage capacity of an accelerator,processing large-scale graphs on a single Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA)becomes difficult.The multi-FPGA acceleration is of great necessity and importance.Many cloud providers(e.g.,Amazon,Microsoft,and about:blank)now expose FPGAs to users in their data centers,providing opportunities to accelerate large-scale graph processing.In this paper,we present a communication library,called FDGLib,which can easily scale out any existing single FPGA-based graph accelerator to a distributed version in a data center,with minimal hardware engineering efforts.FDGLib provides six APIs that can be easily used and integrated into any FPGA-based graph accelerator with only a few lines of code modifications.Considering the torus-based FPGA interconnection in data centers,FDGLib also improves communication efficiency using simple yet effective torus-friendly graph partition and placement schemes.We interface FDGLib into AccuGraph,a state-of-the-art graph accelerator.Our results on a 32-node Microsoft Catapult-like data center show that the distributed AccuGraph can be 2.32x and 4.77x faster than a state-of-the-art distributed FPGA-based graph accelerator ForeGraph and a distributed CPU-based graph system Gemini,with better scalability.
