Although using machine learning (ML) on graphs is promising, their raw representation is not suitable for ML algorithms. Graph embedding represents each node of a graph as a d-dimensional vector which is more suitable for ML tasks. However, the embedding process is expensive, and CPU-based tools do not scale to real-world graphs. In this work, we present GOSH, a GPU-based tool for embedding large-scale graphs with minimum hardware constraints. GOSH employs a novel graph coarsening algorithm to enhance the impact of updates and minimize the work for embedding. It also incorporates a decomposition schema that enables any arbitrarily large graph to be embedded with a single GPU. As a result, GOSH sets a new state-of-the-art in link prediction both in accuracy and speed, and delivers high-quality embeddings for node classification at a fraction of the time compared to the state-of-the-art. For instance, it can embed a graph with over 65 million vertices and 1.8 billion edges in less than 30 minutes on a single GPU.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.10049v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.10049v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"boosting-graph-embedding-on-a-single-gpu","repo_url":"https://github.com/SabanciParallelComputing/GOSH","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"MIT"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"CPU"},{"task_slug":null,"task_name":"GPU"},{"task_slug":"graph-embedding","task_name":"Graph Embedding"},{"task_slug":"link-prediction","task_name":"Link Prediction"},{"task_slug":"node-classification","task_name":"Node Classification"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
