Exploitation of Stragglers in Coded Computation
Shahrzad Kiani, Nuwan Ferdinand, Stark C. Draper
In cloud computing systems slow processing nodes, often referred to as "stragglers", can significantly extend the computation time. Recent results have shown that error correction…

Hierarchical Coded Computation
Nuwan Ferdinand, Stark Draper
Coded computation is a method to mitigate "stragglers" in distributed computing systems through the use of error correction coding that has lately received significant attention. F…
