Trying Not to Die Benchmarking -- Orchestrating RDF and Graph Data Management Solution Benchmarks Using LITMUS

Research & Innovation

Knowledge graphs, usually modelled via RDF or property graphs, have gained importance over the past decade. In order to decide which Data Management Solution (DMS) performs best for specific query loads over a knowledge graph, it is required to perform benchmarks. Benchmarking is an extremely tedious task demanding repetitive manual effort, therefore it is advantageous to automate the whole process.

However, there is currently no benchmarking framework which supports benchmarking and comparing diverse DMSs for both RDF and property graph DMS. To this end, we introduce, the first working prototype of, LITMUS which provides this functionality as well as fine-grained environment configuration options, a comprehensive set of DMS and CPU-specific key performance indicators and a quick analytical support via custom visualization (i.e. plots) for the benchmarked DMSs.
