Redundancy Techniques for Straggler Mitigation in Distributed Optimization and Learning

Can Karakus, Yifan Sun, Suhas Diggavi +1

Performance of distributed optimization and learning systems is bottlenecked by "straggler" nodes and slow communication links, which significantly delay computation. We propose a…
