Abstract

Embodiments are disclosed for improving cache or memory efficiency of a social network system. A method according to some embodiments includes steps of: receiving an instruction to improve cache or memory efficiency of social graph data of a social graph; generating based on the social graph a partitioning tree including multiple bottom-level buckets, the partitioning tree dividing the vertices of the social graph into the bottom-level buckets and ordering the bottom-level buckets such that a social network metric regarding the vertices is optimized; assigning user IDs to the vertices of the social network in a numerical sequence based on the ordering of the bottom-level buckets; storing the social graph data of the users in storage locations in an order according to the numeral sequence of the assigned user IDs of the vertices.
