static graphs v.s. dynamic graphs












0












$begingroup$



In summary, static graphs are easy to optimize but lack the expressivity found in higher-level languages; dynamic graphs provide this missing expressivity but introduce new compilation and execution challenges, especially on heterogeneous hardware and FPGAs.

My question is




  • Why are static graphs easier to optimize than dynamic graphs?


  • Why are static graphs less expressive than dynamic graphs?


  • What compilation and execution challenge dynamic graphs face? How about static graphs? What causes these problems for dynamic graphs?



If such a question is not suitable to be asked here, please redirect me to another stack. Thanks!
