GKAN: Graph Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks
Mehrdad Kiamari, Mohammad Kiamari, Bhaskar Krishnamachari
We introduce Graph Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (GKAN), an innovative neural network architecture that extends the principles of the recently proposed Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KAN…
Blizzard: a Distributed Consensus Protocol for Mobile Devices
Mehrdad Kiamari, Bhaskar Krishnamachari, Muhammad Naveed +1
We present Blizzard, a Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) distributed ledger protocol that is aimed at making mobile devices first-class citizens in the consensus process. Blizzard int…
GCNScheduler: Scheduling Distributed Computing Applications using Graph Convolutional Networks
Mehrdad Kiamari, Bhaskar Krishnamachari
We consider the classical problem of scheduling task graphs corresponding to complex applications on distributed computing systems. A number of heuristics have been previously prop…
Bottleneck Time Minimization for Distributed Iterative Processes: Speeding Up Gossip-Based Federated Learning on Networked Computers
Mehrdad Kiamari, Bhaskar Krishnamachari
We present a novel task scheduling scheme for accelerating computational applications involving distributed iterative processes that are executed on networked computing resources.…
COVID-19 Risk Estimation using a Time-varying SIR-model
Mehrdad Kiamari, Gowri Ramachandran, Quynh Nguyen +3
Policy-makers require data-driven tools to assess the spread of COVID-19 and inform the public of their risk of infection on an ongoing basis. We propose a rigorous hybrid model-an…
Slack Squeeze Coded Computing for Adaptive Straggler Mitigation
Krishna Giri Narra, Zhifeng Lin, Mehrdad Kiamari +2
While performing distributed computations in today's cloud-based platforms, execution speed variations among compute nodes can significantly reduce the performance and create bottl…
On Heterogeneous Coded Distributed Computing
Mehrdad Kiamari, Chenwei Wang, A. Salman Avestimehr
We consider the recently proposed Coded Distributed Computing (CDC) framework that leverages carefully designed redundant computations to enable coding opportunities that substanti…
SINR-Threshold Scheduling with Binary Power Control for D2D Networks
Mehrdad Kiamari, Chenwei Wang, A. Salman Avestimehr +1
In this paper, we consider a device-to-device communication network in which transmitter-receiver pairs are sharing spectrum with each other. We propose a novel but simple bina…
Capacity Region of the Symmetric Injective K-User Deterministic Interference Channel
Mehrdad Kiamari, A. Salman Avestimehr
We characterize the capacity region of the symmetric injective K-user Deterministic Interference Channel (DIC) for all channel parameters. The achievable rate region is derived by…
Are Generalized Cut-Set Bounds Tight for the Deterministic Interference Channel?
Mehrdad Kiamari, A. Salman Avestimehr
We propose the idea of extended networks, which is constructed by replicating the users in the two-user deterministic interference channel (DIC) and designing the interference stru…
