# 🌟 STGraph

STGraph is a framework designed for deep-learning practitioners to write and train Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Temporal Graph Neural Networks (TGNNs). It is built on top of _Seastar_ and utilizes the vertex-centric approach to produce highly efficient fused GPU kernels for forward and backward passes. It achieves better usability, faster computation time and consumes less memory than state-of-the-art graph deep-learning systems like DGL, PyG and PyG-T.

_NOTE: If the contents of this repository are used for research work, kindly cite the paper linked above._

## Why STGraph

![Seastar GCN Formula](https://github.com/bfGraph/STGraph/blob/main/assets/Seastar%20GCN%20Formula.png?raw=true)



The primary goal of _Seastar_ is more natural GNN programming so that the users learning curve is flattened. Our key observation lies in recognizing that the equation governing a GCN layer, as shown above, takes the form of vertex-centric computation and can be implemented succinctly with only one line of code. Moreover, we can see a clear correspondence between the GNN formulas and the vertex-centric implementations. The benefit is two-fold: users can effortlessly implement GNN models, while simultaneously understanding these models by inspecting their direct implementations.

The _Seastar_ system outperforms state-of-the-art GNN frameworks but lacks support for TGNNs. STGraph bridges that gap and enables users to to develop TGNN models through a vertex-centric approach. STGraph has shown to be significantly faster and more memory efficient that state-of-the-art frameworks like PyG-T for training TGNN models.

## Getting Started

### Installation for STGraph Package Users

This guide is tailored for users of the STGraph package, designed for constructing GNN and TGNN models. We recommend creating a new virtual environment with Python version `3.8` and installing `stgraph` inside that dedicated environment.

**Installing STGraph from PyPI**

```bash
pip install stgraph
```

**Installing PyTorch**

In addition, STGraph relies on PyTorch. Ensure it is installed in your virtual environment with the following command

```bash
pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
```

Upon completion of the above steps, you have successfully installed STGraph. Proceed to write and train your first GNN model by referring to the provided [tutorial](examples/README.md).

### Installation for STGraph Package Developers

This guide is intended for those interested in developing and contributing to STGraph.

**Download source files from GitHub**

```bash
git clone https://github.com/bfGraph/STGraph.git
cd STGraph
```

**Create a dedicated virtual environment**

Inside the STGraph directory create and activate a dedicated virtual environment named `dev-stgraph` with Python version `3.8`.

```bash
python3.8 -m venv dev-stgraph
source dev-stgraph/bin/activate
```

**Install STGraph in editable mode**

Make sure to install the STGraph package in editable mode to ease your development process. 

```bash
pip install -e .[dev]
pip list
```

**Install PyTorch**

Ensure to install PyTorch as well for development

```bash
pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
```

With this you have successfully installed STGraph locally to make development changes and contribute to the project. Head out to our [Pull Requests](https://github.com/bfGraph/STGraph/pulls) page and get started with your first contribution.

## Running your first STGraph Program

Please have a look inside the `tutorials/` directory to write and train your own GNNs using STGraph

## Contributing

Please read CONTRIBUTING.md for details on our code of conduct, and the process for submitting pull requests, issues, etc to us.

## How to contribute to Documentation

We follow the PEP-8 format. [Black](https://pypi.org/project/black/) is used as the formatter and [pycodestyle](https://pypi.org/project/pycodestyle/) as the linter. The linter is is configure to work properly with black (set line length to 88)
