Query acceleration of graph databases by ID caching technology

In this paper, we approach the design of ID caching technology (IDCT) for graph databases, with the purpose of accelerating the queries on graph database data and avoiding redundant graph database query operations which will consume great computer resources. Traditional graph database caching technology (GDCT) needs a large memory to store data and has the problems of serious data consistency and low cache utilization. To address these issues, in the paper we propose a new technology which focuses on ID allocation mechanism and high-speed queries of ID on graph databases. Specifically, ID of the query result is cached in memory and data consistency is achieved through the real-time synchronization and cache memory adaptation. In addition, we set up complex queries and simple queries to satisfy all query requirements and design a mechanism of cache replacement based on query action time, query times, and memory capacity, thus improving the performance furthermore. Extensive experiments show the superiority of our techniques compared with the traditional query approach of graph databases. © 2008-2016 Journal of Eletronic Science and Technology.
