BASIC STUDY ON THE DESIGN OF GRAPH DATABASE BENCHMARKS

Rahul Arun Deshmukh

TA Graph Database Benchmark is a collection of programs which is used to generate measurements to evaluate capability of systems like efficiency, etc. It can be considered as a useful tool to test the performance of a system. It also helps in deciding which system would be useful for a particular use case based on the availability and the demands. Graph Database Management systems (GDBs) are gaining popularity. They are used to analyze huge graph datasets that are naturally appearing in many application areas to model interrelated data.
