K-Core Decomposition of Large Networks on a Single PC
Summary: Demonstrates exact and approximate k-core decomposition for billion-edge graphs on a single consumer PC via GraphChi/WebGraph and optimized external-memory methods. Benchmarks show practical scalability, while exposing EMcore’s inability to predict memory sufficiency. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
