(iv) num_nodes_to_cache: our program stores the entire graph on disk. For faster search performance, we provide the support to cache a few nodes (which are closest to the starting point) in memory.

(v) num_threads: search using specified number of threads in parallel, one thread per query. More will result in more IOs, so find the balance depending on the bandwidth of the SSD.
(v) num_threads: search using specified number of threads in parallel, one thread per query. More threads will result in more IOs/second across the system, so find the balance depending on the bandwidth of the SSD.

(vi) beamwidth: maximum number of IO requests each query will issue per iteration of search code. Larger beamwidth williult in fewer IO round-trips per query, but might result in slightly higher number of IO requests to SSD per query. Specifying 0 will optimize the beamwidth depending on the number of threads performing search.
