SWIFT: Enabling Large-Scale Temporal Graph Learning on a Single Machine
Summary: SWIFT is the first secondary-memory-based T-GNN training system for large-scale temporal graphs on a single machine. It uses bucket-based pipeline parallelism across GPU, main, and secondary memories to alleviate data/memory bottlenecks, delivering up to 4.3x speedup and 7.9x lower main memory than baselines.
