Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a graph of a social network, wherein the graph includes a set of nodes representing users in the social network and a set of edges representing relationships between pairs of the users. Next, the system stores, on a single computer system, a static representation of the graph, wherein the static representation includes a first set of fixed-size blocks representing the nodes and the edges and a first index that maps a set of identifiers for the nodes and the edges to offsets of the first set of fixed-size blocks. The system then uses the static representation of the graph to process, by the single computer system, one or more queries of the graph.
