The study of interactive proofs in the context of distributed network computing is a novel topic, recently introduced by Kol, Oshman, and Saxena [PODC 2018]. In the spirit of sequential interactive proofs theory, we study the power of distributed interactive proofs. This is achieved via a series of results establishing trade-offs between various parameters impacting the power of interactive proofs, including the number of interactions, the certificate size, the communication complexity, and the form of randomness used. Our results also connect distributed interactive proofs with the established field of distributed verification. In general, our results contribute to providing structure to the landscape of distributed interactive proofs.

Dealing with the shear size and complexity of todays massive data sets requires computational platforms that can analyze data in a parallelized and distributed fashion. A major bottleneck that arises in such modern distributed computing environments
is that some of the worker nodes may run slow. These nodes a.k.a.~stragglers can significantly slow down computation as the slowest node may dictate the overall computational time. A recent computational framework, called encoded optimization, creates redundancy in the data to mitigate the effect of stragglers. In this paper we develop novel mathematical understanding for this framework demonstrating its effectiveness in much broader settings than was previously understood. We also analyze the convergence behavior of iterative encoded optimization algorithms, allowing us to characterize fundamental trade-offs between convergence rate, size of data set, accuracy, computational load (or data redundancy), and straggler toleration in this framework.
We present a protocol that transforms any quantum multi-prover interactive proof into a nonlocal game in which questions consist of logarithmic number of bits and answers of constant number of bits. As a corollary, this proves that the promise proble
m corresponding to the approximation of the nonlocal value to inverse polynomial accuracy is complete for QMIP*, and therefore NEXP-hard. This establishes that nonlocal games are provably harder than classical games without any complexity theory assumptions. Our result also indicates that gap amplification for nonlocal games may be impossible in general and provides a negative evidence for the possibility of the gap amplification approach to the multi-prover variant of the quantum PCP conjecture.
We consider energy minimization for data-intensive applications run on large number of servers, for given performance guarantees. We consider a system, where each incoming application is sent to a set of servers, and is considered to be completed if
a subset of them finish serving it. We consider a simple case when each server core has two speed levels, where the higher speed can be achieved by higher power for each core independently. The core selects one of the two speeds probabilistically for each incoming application request. We model arrival of application requests by a Poisson process, and random service time at the server with independent exponential random variables. Our model and analysis generalizes to todays state-of-the-art in CPU energy management where each core can independently select a speed level from a set of supported speeds and corresponding voltages. The performance metrics under consideration are the mean number of applications in the system and the average energy expenditure. We first provide a tight approximation to study this previously intractable problem and derive closed form approximate expressions for the performance metrics when service times are exponentially distributed. Next, we study the trade-off between the approximate mean number of applications and energy expenditure in terms of the switching probability.
The paper tackles the issue of $textit{checking}$ that all copies of a large data set replicated at several nodes of a network are identical. The fact that the replicas may be located at distant nodes prevents the system from verifying their equality
locally, i.e., by having each node consult only nodes in its vicinity. On the other hand, it remains possible to assign $textit{certificates}$ to the nodes, so that verifying the consistency of the replicas can be achieved locally. However, we show that, as the data set is large, classical certification mechanisms, including distributed Merlin-Arthur protocols, cannot guarantee good completeness and soundness simultaneously, unless they use very large certificates. The main result of this paper is a distributed $textit{quantum}$ Merlin-Arthur protocol enabling the nodes to collectively check the consistency of the replicas, based on small certificates, and in a single round of message exchange between neighbors, with short messages. In particular, the certificate-size is logarithmic in the size of the data set, which gives an exponential advantage over classical certification mechanisms.
In order to achieve near-time insights, scientific workflows tend to be organized in a flexible and dynamic way. Data-driven triggering of tasks has been explored as a way to support workflows that evolve based on the data. However, the overhead intr
oduced by such dynamic triggering of tasks is an under-studied topic. This paper discusses different facets of dynamic task triggers. Particularly, we explore different ways of constructing a data-driven dynamic workflow and then evaluate the overheads introduced by such design decisions. We evaluate workflows with varying data size, percentage of interesting data, temporal data distribution, and number of tasks triggered. Finally, we provide advice based upon analysis of the evaluation results for users looking to construct data-driven scientific workflows.
