DUCATI: A Dual-Cache Training System for Graph Neural Networks on Giant Graphs with the GPU
Summary: DUCATI introduces a Dual-Cache system for GNNs on giant graphs, adding an Adj-Cache to exploit adjacency locality and accelerate mini-batch generation on GPUs. A workload-aware allocator tunes cache allocation; on 4B graphs, yields up to 3.3x speedups over DGL, with time–accuracy trade-offs analyzed.
