Demystifying Why Local Aggregation Helps: Convergence Analysis of Hierarchical SGD

Jiayi Wang, Shiqiang Wang, Rong-Rong Chen +1

Hierarchical SGD (H-SGD) has emerged as a new distributed SGD algorithm for multi-level communication networks. In H-SGD, before each global aggregation, workers send their updated…

FLCD: A Flexible Low Complexity Design of Coded Distributed Computing

Nicholas Woolsey, Xingyue Wang, Rong-Rong Chen +1

We propose a flexible low complexity design (FLCD) of coded distributed computing (CDC) with empirical evaluation on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). CDC can expedite Map…
