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.…
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…
