We show that compact graph C 鈭?/sup>-algebras C 鈭?/sup>(E) are topological direct sums of finite matrices over 鈩?and KL(H), for some countably dimensional Hilbert space, and give a graph-theoretic characterization as those whose graphs are row-finite, acyclic and every infinite path ends in a sink. We further specialize in the simple case providing both structure and graph-theoretic characterizations. In order to reach our goals we make use of Leavitt path algebras L 鈩?/sub>(E). Moreover, we describe the socle of C 鈭?/sup>(E) as the two-sided ideal generated by the line point vertices.
