<h1>Welcome to the GraphStorm v0.1.2 Documentation and Tutorials<a class="headerlink" href="#welcome-to-the-graphstorm-documentation-and-tutorials" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h1> <div class="toctree-wrapper compound"> </div> <div class="toctree-wrapper compound"> </div> <div class="toctree-wrapper compound"> </div> <div class="toctree-wrapper compound"> </div> <p>GraphStorm is a graph machine learning (GML) framework designed for enterprise use cases. It simplifies the development, training and deployment of GML models on industry-scale graphs (measured in billons of nodes and edges) by providing scalable training and inference pipelines of GML models. GraphStorm comes with a collection of built-in GML models, allowing users to train a GML model with a single command, eliminating the need to write any code. Moreover, GraphStorm provides a wide range of configurations to customiz model implementations and training pipelines, enhancing model performance. In addition, GraphStorm offers a programming interface that enables users to train custom GML models in a distributed manner. Users can bring their own model implementations and leverage the GraphStorm training pipeline for scalability.</p> <section id="getting-started"> <h2>Getting Started<a class="headerlink" href="#getting-started" title="Permalink to this heading">#</a></h2> <p>For beginners, please first start with the <a class="reference internal" href="install-env-setup#setup"><span class="std std-ref">GraphStorm Docker environment setup</span></a>.
