Graph Database Benchmark Reports

TigerGraph becomes the first to pass the 1TB LDBC SNB linked data benchmark auditing.

FEBRUARY 2023

Linked Data Benchmark Council Social Network Benchmark (108TB)

Disclaimer: The benchmarks on this page are not official LDBC benchmark results, as they have not been audited.

This report details the full execution of the LDBC SNB BI workload for TigerGraph at the 108TB scale. The benchmark was conducted in accordance with the official benchmark driver, data, and substitution parameter generator as reported in the LDBC 1T Audit FDR over TigerGraph and LDBC SF30k FDR over TigerGraph.

The 108TB data set was inflated based on the SF30k dataset and the queries were accordingly modified to activate the entire graph. The benchmark involved the execution of the queries using five substitution parameters in each batch, whereas the official benchmark uses 30 different parameters. The power and throughput benchmark metrics were reported in accordance with the guidelines specified in the LDBC SNB specification.

Linked Data Benchmark Council Social Network Benchmark (36TB raw dataset)

Disclaimer: The benchmarks on this page are not official LDBC benchmark results, as they have not been audited.

In a recent study, we measured TigerGraph’s performance using the respected Linked Data Benchmark Council (LDBC) Social Network Benchmark (SNB) Scale-Factor 30K dataset  (73B vertices, 534B edges, 36TB raw data).

We focused primarily on Business Intelligence (BI) workload tests during this benchmark: BI Workload — The majority of OLAP-style iterative and deep-link graph queries were answered in under a few minutes.

The data schema follows the property graph data model. Measurements during the benchmark, which we believe to be the first benchmark test using the LDBC-SNB SF-30K BI workload on a distributed graph database, included loading time, storage size, and query latency of the 20 BI queries on a cluster of 40 machines.

This benchmark test demonstrates TigerGraph’s capability handling large-scale updateable connected data with a set of demanding graph benchmark queries. To date, no other graph database demonstrated a comparable result.

Third Party Benchmark:
Neo4j vs TigerGraph

July 2019 In-Depth Benchmarking of Graph Database Systems using the Linked Data Benchmark Council (LDBC) Social Network Benchmark (SNB).  

Graph Database Benchmark Report

This benchmark compares TigerGraph to Neo4j, Amazon Neptune, JanusGraph and ArangoDB in the following categories:

Queries: For 2-hop path queries, TigerGraph is 40x to 337x faster than other graph databases.

Storage: When comparing storage requirements for the same raw data, other graph databases need5x to 13x more disk space compared to TigerGraph.

Loading: TigerGraph loads data1.8x to 58x faster than other graph databases.

Scale: TigerGraph scales almost linearly with additional machines, achieving 6.7x speedup with 8 machines for the computationally intensive PageRank algorithm. Neo4j and Amazon Neptune cannot partition a graph across multiple machines for the versions tested, thus could not be tested for this part.
