我正在使用
python多处理来创建多个不同的NetworkX图,然后使用下面的函数来组合图.但是,虽然此函数适用于小图形,但对于较大的图形,它使用大量内存并挂在我的系统和内存繁重的AWS系统上(仅占系统总内存的三分之一).有没有更有效的方法来执行以下功能？

def combine_graphs(graph1, graph2, graph2_weight = 1):
    '''
    Given two graphs of different edge (but same node) structure (and the same type),
    combine the two graphs, summing all edge attributes and multiplying the second one's
    attributes by the desired weights. 

    E.g. if graph1.edge[a][b] = {'a': 1, 'b':2} and 
    graph2.edge[a][b] = {'a': 3, 'c': 4}, 
    with a weight of 1 the final graph edge should be 
    final_graph.edge[a][b] = {'a': 4, 'b': 2, 'c': 4} and with a weight 
    of .5 the final graph edge should be {'a': 2.5, 'b': 2, 'c': 2}.

    Inputs: Two graphs to be combined and a weight to give to the second graph

    if type(graph1) != type(graph2) or len(set(graph2.nodes()) - set(graph1.nodes())) > 0:
        raise Exception('Graphs must have the same type and graph 2 cannot have nodes that graph 1 does not have.')

最佳答案 内存将在您的代码中扩展两个位置：

1)制作graph1的副本(也许你需要保留一份副本)

2)使用graph2.edges()生成内存中所有边的列表,graph2.edges_iter()迭代边而不创建新列表

您也可以通过不同方式处理边缘数据来加快速度.您可以在迭代边缘时获取数据对象,而不必像字典查找那样执行：

def combined_graphs_edges(G, H, weight = 1.0):
    for u,v,hdata in H.edges_iter(data=True):
        # multply attributes of H by weight
        attr = dict( (key, value*weight) for key,value in hdata.items())
        # get data from G or use empty dict if no edge in G
        gdata = G[u].get(v,{})
        # add data from g
        # sum shared items
        shared = set(gdata) & set(hdata)
        attr.update(dict((key, attr[key] + gdata[key]) for key in shared))
        # non shared items
        non_shared = set(gdata) - set(hdata)
        attr.update(dict((key, gdata[key]) for key in non_shared))
        yield u,v,attr
    return

    import networkx as nx
    G = nx.Graph([('a','b', {'a': 1, 'b':2})])
    H = nx.Graph([('a','b', {'a': 3, 'c':4})])
    print list(combined_graphs_edges(G,H,weight=0.5))
    # or to make a new graph 
    graph = G.copy()
    graph.add_edges_from(combined_graphs_edges(G,H,weight=0.5))
