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.展开更多

Ones celebrate the winning of their team which they like. Especially, NBA fans keep on predicting the playoffs game results. However, prediction of winning probability of teams in NBA playoffs is challenging. In order to meet the challenges, we proposed a method using ELO algorithm for prediction and leveraging Graph Database, Neo4j, for implementation. Experiment results show that, the design and implementation of the prediction system could work to some degree.展开更多

Therefore, accurate querying of this data has become particularly important. Several researchers have chosen different indexing methods in the filtering stage to obtain more optimized query results because currently there is no uniform and efficient indexing mechanism that achieves good query results. In the traditional algorithm, the hash table for index storage is prone to "collision" problems, which decrease the index construction efficiency. Aiming at the problem of quick index entry, based on the construction of frequent subgraph indexes, a method of serialized storage optimization based on multiple hash tables is proposed. This method mainly uses the exploration sequence to make the keywords evenly distributed; it avoids conflicts of the stored procedure and performs a quick search of the index. The proposed algorithm mainly adopts the "filterverify" mechanism; in the filtering stage, the index is first established offline, and then the frequent subgraphs are found using the "contains logic" rule to obtain the candidate set. Experimental results show that this method can reduce the time and scale of candidate set generation and improve query efficiency.展开更多
