We start with several well-known systems for graph processing and compare them against simple single-threaded implementations to find out just how much faster they can go. The answer, at least when we took the measurements, was that they don't go faster. That is, each was slower than a 10-15 line implementation on a laptop. • • This problem recurs in several areas of big data systems and research where weak baselines make new results seem like progress when they are just recovering ground lost in the initial excitement over Hadoop and Spark. We will trek through several such evaluations including the most recent systems coming out of the databases research community and provide a bit of advice and structure for the performance-minded. • ABOUT DATA COUNCIL: • Data Council (https://www.datacouncil.ai/) is a community and conference series that provides data professionals with the learning and networking opportunities they need to grow their careers.
