Exploiting Stragglers in Distributed Computing Systems with Task Grouping
Tharindu Adikari, Haider Al-Lawati, Jason Lam +2
We consider the problem of stragglers in distributed computing systems. Stragglers, which are compute nodes that unpredictably slow down, often increase the completion times of tas…
Hierarchical coded elastic computing
Shahrzad Kiani, Tharindu Adikari, Stark C. Draper
Elasticity is offered by cloud service providers to exploit under-utilized computing resources. The low-cost elastic nodes can leave and join any time during the computation cycle.…
Decentralized optimization with non-identical sampling in presence of stragglers
Tharindu Adikari, Stark Draper
We consider decentralized consensus optimization when workers sample data from non-identical distributions and perform variable amounts of work due to slow nodes known as straggler…
Rate distortion comparison of a few gradient quantizers
Tharindu Adikari
This article is in the context of gradient compression. Gradient compression is a popular technique for mitigating the communication bottleneck observed when training large machine…
