Hardware Acceleration of Sampling Algorithms in …

that the sampling process takes more than 100 times longer than other GNN processes like aggregate, update, and so on. This is because the traditional sampling process requires frequent access to the dataset and its edge index. Therefore, hardware acceleration for the sampling process is necessary. Currently, there are several hardware ...
