A Comprehensive Survey of Subgraph Matching: [Experiments & Analysis]

Summary: Survey reframing subgraph matching beyond filter-order-enumeration by integrating compiler-based (cache/validation) approaches and emphasizing pruning; proposes two unifying pillars—redundancy reduction and order generation—across 17 methods. Experiments show cache/filter/prune combinations up to 1.81× faster, reveal heuristic and validation orderings often converge to similar behavior, and provide empirical guidance for strategy selection across graph scenarios.
