Many cluster management systems (CMSs) have been proposed to share a single cluster with multiple distributed computing systems. However, none of the existing approaches can handle distributed machine learning (ML) workloads given the following criteria: high resource utilization, fair resource allocation and low sharing overhead. To solve this problem, we propose a new CMS named Dorm, incorporating a dynamically-partitioned cluster management mechanism and an utilization-fairness optimizer. Specifically, Dorm uses the container-based virtualization technique to partition a cluster, runs one application per partition, and can dynamically resize each partition at application runtime for resource efficiency and fairness. Each application directly launches its tasks on the assigned partition without petitioning for resources frequently, so Dorm imposes flat sharing overhead. Extensive performance evaluations showed that Dorm could simultaneously increase the resource utilization by a factor of up to 2.32, reduce the fairness loss by a factor of up to 1.52, and speed up popular distributed ML applications by a factor of up to 2.72, compared to existing approaches. Dorms sharing overhead is less than 5% in most cases.

In this paper we formulate the fixed budget resource allocation game to understand the performance of a distributed market-based resource allocation system. Multiple users decide how to distribute their budget (bids) among multiple machines according to their individual preferences to maximize their individual utility. We look at both the efficiency and the fairness of the allocation at the equilibrium, where fairness is evaluated through the measures of utility uniformity and envy-freeness. We show analytically and through simulations that despite being highly decentralized, such a system converges quickly to an equilibrium and unlike the social optimum that achieves high efficiency but poor fairness, the proposed allocation scheme achieves a nice balance of high degrees of efficiency and fairness at the equilibrium.
Distributed training techniques have been widely deployed in large-scale deep neural networks (DNNs) training on dense-GPU clusters. However, on public cloud clusters, due to the moderate inter-connection bandwidth between instances, traditional state-of-the-art distributed training systems cannot scale well in training large-scale models. In this paper, we propose a new computing and communication efficient top-k sparsification communication library for distributed training. To further improve the system scalability, we optimize I/O by proposing a simple yet efficient multi-level data caching mechanism and optimize the update operation by introducing a novel parallel tensor operator. Experimental results on a 16-node Tencent Cloud cluster (each node with 8 Nvidia Tesla V100 GPUs) show that our system achieves 25%-40% faster than existing state-of-the-art systems on CNNs and Transformer. We finally break the record on DAWNBench on training ResNet-50 to 93% top-5 accuracy on ImageNet.
In recent years, data and computing resources are typically distributed in the devices of end users, various regions or organizations. Because of laws or regulations, the distributed data and computing resources cannot be directly shared among different regions or organizations for machine learning tasks. Federated learning emerges as an efficient approach to exploit distributed data and computing resources, so as to collaboratively train machine learning models, while obeying the laws and regulations and ensuring data security and data privacy. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of existing works for federated learning. We propose a functional architecture of federated learning systems and a taxonomy of related techniques. Furthermore, we present the distributed training, data communication, and security of FL systems. Finally, we analyze their limitations and propose future research directions.
This paper explores serverless cloud computing for double machine learning. Being based on repeated cross-fitting, double machine learning is particularly well suited to exploit the high level of parallelism achievable with serverless computing. It allows to get fast on-demand estimations without additional cloud maintenance effort. We provide a prototype Python implementation texttt{DoubleML-Serverless} for the estimation of double machine learning models with the serverless computing platform AWS Lambda and demonstrate its utility with a case study analyzing estimation times and costs.
A major driver behind the success of modern machine learning algorithms has been their ability to process ever-larger amounts of data. As a result, the use of distributed systems in both research and production has become increasingly prevalent as a means to scale to this growing data. At the same time, however, distributing the learning process can drastically complicate the implementation of even simple algorithms. This is especially problematic as many machine learning practitioners are not well-versed in the design of distributed systems, let alone those that have complicated communication topologies. In this work we introduce Launchpad, a programming model that simplifies the process of defining and launching distributed systems that is specifically tailored towards a machine learning audience. We describe our framework, its design philosophy and implementation, and give a number of examples of common learning algorithms whose designs are greatly simplified by this approach.
