GraphX's current implementation of static (fixed iteration count) PageRank uses the Pregel API. This unnecessarily tracks active vertices, even though in static PageRank all vertices are always active. Active vertex tracking incurs the following costs:
I reimplemented static PageRank using the lower-level GraphX API instead of the Pregel API. In benchmarks on a 16-node m2.4xlarge cluster, this provided a 23% speedup (from 514 s to 397 s, mean over 3 trials) for 10 iterations of PageRank on a synthetic graph with 10M vertices and 1.27B edges.
