Graph Neural Network Training Systems: A Performance Comparison of Full-Graph and Mini-Batch

Summary: Cross-category empirical study of full-graph vs. mini-batch GNN training systems, advocating time-to-accuracy—not epoch time—as the fair metric. Across datasets, models, and configurations, mini-batch converges faster and achieves similar or higher accuracy, refuting sampling concerns. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
