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.…
Successive Approximation Coding for Distributed Matrix Multiplication
Shahrzad Kiani, Stark C. Draper
Coded distributed computing was recently introduced to mitigate the effect of stragglers on distributed computing. This paper combines ideas of approximate computing with coded com…
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…
Anytime Minibatch with Delayed Gradients
Haider Al-Lawati, Stark C. Draper
Distributed optimization is widely deployed in practice to solve a broad range of problems. In a typical asynchronous scheme, workers calculate gradients with respect to out-of-dat…
