GraphSnapShot

## 🚀 Feature

GraphSnapShot: A framework for caching local structure to enable fast and efficient graph learning.

## Motivation

Traditional graph learning methods waste significant resources and time by repeatedly resampling and refetching neighbors during each training iteration, which is computationally intensive and resource-consuming.

**GraphSnapShot** provides up to **training acceleration** and **memory reduction** without compromising graph machine learning performance.

GraphSnapShot is a framework designed for caching the local structure of graphs, enabling fast storage, retrieval, and computation for large-scale graph learning tasks. By "taking snapshots" of graph structures, it facilitates efficient updates and quick access to local topologies, optimizing the learning process.

## Alternatives

GraphSnapShot serves as an alternative to traditional neighbor-sampling approaches, offering significant advantages in terms of speed and memory usage.
