Data caching for distributed execution computing

摘要

Embodiments for caching and accessing Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) data to and from a computing device of a DAG distributed execution engine during the processing of an iterative algorithm. In accordance with one embodiment, a method includes processing a first subgraph of the plurality of subgraphs from the distributed storage system in the computing device. The first subgraph being processed with associated input values in the computing device to generate first output values in an iteration. The method further includes storing a second subgraph in a cache of the device. The second subgraph being a duplicate of the first subgraph. Moreover, the method also includes processing the second subgraph with the first output values to generate second output values if the device is to process the first subgraph in each of one or more subsequent iterations.
