How much space is required?

TigerGraph DB
#1

If I have 30 GB of data from the data warehouse, which I need to insert into the TigerGraph schema, then how much storage do I need to configure in the TigerGraph?
And what principle is behind the scenes to calculate this?

Thanks

Hi @Puneet2

We have this following as a general guideline:

  • You can take a look at the recommendations here: Hardware and Software Requirements :: TigerGraph DB

  • For most query workloads, the amount of RAM you should have should be 2x the raw data size, once you exceed the recommendation requirements.

  • If you plan to use memory intensive algorithms like Louvain, then RAM size should be 3x the raw data size, once you exceed the recommendation requirements.

  • If you are using a cluster, divide the number of RAM you need from calculation above by the number of nodes in the cluster.

So, in your case, assuming single machine, the amount of RAM should be 60 GB or 90 GB.
