Hi,

I'm wondering if GraphLab's graph partitioning is aware of the
consistency model.

For example, I may have the following very simple graph and 2
single-core machines 1 and 2:

A - B - C - D.

The algorithm requires me to use edge consistency model. So the
chromatic engine may schedule vertex A and C run first then B and D.

So the best graph partitioning scheme is to put A, B on the same machine
and C, D on the other machine so that parallelism is achieved.

Does GraphLab's graph partitioning do that?

Thanks,
Jinliang

Hi,

The graph partitioner is not aware of the consistency.
However, the partitioning objective basically accomplishes the same.
