DGL provides a powerful graph object that can reside on either CPU or GPU. It bundles structural data as well as features for a better control. We provide a variety of functions for computing with graph objects including efficient and customizable message passing primitives for Graph Neural Networks.
### Models, modules and benchmarks for GNN researchers
### A versatile tool for GNN researchers and practitioners
The field of graph deep learning is still rapidly evolving and many research ideas emerge by standing on the shoulders of giants. To ease the process, DGL collects a rich set of [example implementations](https://github.com/dmlc/dgl/tree/master/examples) of popular GNN models of a wide range of topics. Researchers can [search](https://www.dgl.ai/) for related models to innovate new ideas from or use them as baselines for experiments. Moreover, DGL provides many state-of-the-art [GNN layers and modules](https://docs.dgl.ai/api/python/nn.html) for users to build new model architectures. DGL is one of the preferred platforms for many standard graph deep learning benchmarks including [OGB](https://ogb.stanford.edu/) and [GNNBenchmarks](https://github.com/graphdeeplearning/benchmarking-gnns).

### Scalable and efficient
It is convenient to train models using DGL on large-scale graphs across multiple GPUs or multiple machines. DGL extensively optimizes the whole stack to reduce the overhead in communication, memory consumption and synchronization. As a result, DGL can easily scale to billion-sized graphs. See the [system performance note](https://docs.dgl.ai/performance.html) for the comparison with the other tools.
Now DistDGL ParMETIS implementation also provides support for hetero graph by adding back the dropped edges back into the partitioned graph thus handling parMetis hetero graph usecase.
