Revisiting the Design of In-Memory Dynamic Graph Storage

Summary: Proposes a common abstraction and test framework to compare in-memory dynamic graph storage (LLAMA, Aspen, LiveGraph, Teseo, Sortledton) for read/write, space, and concurrency. Shows large memory overhead (Aspen 3.3–10.8x CSR; fine-grained 4.1–8.9x), architecture-aware bottlenecks, and high-degree vertex contention, suggesting future directions.
