The method of the present disclosure includes: after a graph partitioning apparatus extracts an edge, first determining whether an aggregation degree between a currently extracted edge and an allocated edge in a first device satisfies a preset condition; then, when the preset condition is satisfied, determining whether a quantity of allocated edges stored in the first device is less than a first preset threshold; and allocating the currently extracted edge to the first device when the quantity is less than the first preset threshold. In this way, an aggregation degree between allocated edges in each device is relatively high and each device has relatively balanced load. When an edge changes and an edge associated with the particular edge needs to be synchronized, a relatively small quantity of devices need to perform synchronization and update, so that costs of communication between devices are reduced, and distributed graph computing efficiency is improved.
