Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) scheduling in a heterogeneous environment is aimed at assigning the on-the-fly jobs to a cluster of heterogeneous computing executors in order to minimize the makespan while meeting all requirements of scheduling. The problem gets more attention than ever since the rapid development of heterogeneous cloud computing. A little reduction of makespan of DAG scheduling could both bring huge profits to the service providers and increase the level of service of users. Although DAG scheduling plays an important role in cloud computing industries, existing solutions still have huge room for improvement, especially in making use of topological dependencies between jobs. In this paper, we propose a task-duplication based learning algorithm, called textit{Lachesis}, for the distributed DAG scheduling problem. In our approach, it first perceives the topological dependencies between jobs using a specially designed graph convolutional network (GCN) to select the most likely task to be executed. Then the task is assigned to a specific executor with the consideration of duplicating all its precedent tasks according to a sophisticated heuristic method. We have conducted extensive experiments over standard workload data to evaluate our solution. The experimental results suggest that the proposed algorithm can achieve at most 26.7% reduction of makespan and 35.2% improvement of speedup ratio over seven strong baseline algorithms, including state-of-the-art heuristics methods and a variety of deep reinforcement learning based algorithms.

In this paper, we propose the first optimum process scheduling algorithm for an increasingly prevalent type of heterogeneous multicore (HEMC) system that combines high-performance big cores and energy-efficient small cores with the same instruction-s
et architecture (ISA). Existing algorithms are all heuristics-based, and the well-known IPC-driven approach essentially tries to schedule high scaling factor processes on big cores. Our analysis shows that, for optimum solutions, it is also critical to consider placing long running processes on big cores. Tests of SPEC 2006 cases on various big-small core combinations show that our proposed optimum approach is up to 34% faster than the IPC-driven heuristic approach in terms of total workload completion time. The complexity of our algorithm is O(NlogN) where N is the number of processes. Therefore, the proposed optimum algorithm is practical for use.
This chapter introduces the state-of-the-art in the emerging area of combining High Performance Computing (HPC) with Big Data Analysis. To understand the new area, the chapter first surveys the existing approaches to integrating HPC with Big Data. Ne
xt, the chapter introduces several optimization solutions that focus on how to minimize the data transfer time from computation-intensive applications to analysis-intensive applications as well as minimizing the end-to-end time-to-solution. The solutions utilize SDN to adaptively use both high speed interconnect network and high performance parallel file systems to optimize the application performance. A computational framework called DataBroker is designed and developed to enable a tight integration of HPC with data analysis. Multiple types of experiments have been conducted to show different performance issues in both message passing and parallel file systems and to verify the effectiveness of the proposed research approaches.
Recent commercial hardware platforms for embedded real-time systems feature heterogeneous processing units and computing accelerators on the same System-on-Chip. When designing complex real-time application for such architectures, the designer needs
to make a number of difficult choices: on which processor should a certain task be implemented? Should a component be implemented in parallel or sequentially? These choices may have a great impact on feasibility, as the difference in the processor internal architectures impact on the tasks execution time and preemption cost. To help the designer explore the wide space of design choices and tune the scheduling parameters, in this paper we propose a novel real-time application model, called C-DAG, specifically conceived for heterogeneous platforms. A C-DAG allows to specify alternative implementations of the same component of an application for different processing engines to be selected off-line, as well as conditional branches to model if-then-else statements to be selected at run-time. We also propose a schedulability analysis for the C-DAG model and a heuristic allocation algorithm so that all deadlines are respected. Our analysis takes into account the cost of preempting a task, which can be non-negligible on certain processors. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a large set of synthetic experiments by comparing with state of the art algorithms in the literature.
Machine learning (ML) tasks are becoming ubiquitous in todays network applications. Federated learning has emerged recently as a technique for training ML models at the network edge by leveraging processing capabilities across the nodes that collect
the data. There are several challenges with employing conventional federated learning in contemporary networks, due to the significant heterogeneity in compute and communication capabilities that exist across devices. To address this, we advocate a new learning paradigm called fog learning which will intelligently distribute ML model training across the continuum of nodes from edge devices to cloud servers. Fog learning enhances federated learning along three major dimensions: network, heterogeneity, and proximity. It considers a multi-layer hybrid learning framework consisting of heterogeneous devices with various proximities. It accounts for the topology structures of the local networks among the heterogeneous nodes at each network layer, orchestrating them for collaborative/cooperative learning through device-to-device (D2D) communications. This migrates from star network topologies used for parameter transfers in federated learning to more distributed topologies at scale. We discuss several open research directions to realizing fog learning.
There has been a growing interest in developing data-driven, and in particular deep neural network (DNN) based methods for modern communication tasks. For a few popular tasks such as power control, beamforming, and MIMO detection, these methods achie
ve state-of-the-art performance while requiring less computational efforts, less resources for acquiring channel state information (CSI), etc. However, it is often challenging for these approaches to learn in a dynamic environment. This work develops a new approach that enables data-driven methods to continuously learn and optimize resource allocation strategies in a dynamic environment. Specifically, we consider an ``episodically dynamic setting where the environment statistics change in ``episodes, and in each episode the environment is stationary. We propose to build the notion of continual learning (CL) into wireless system design, so that the learning model can incrementally adapt to the new episodes, {it without forgetting} knowledge learned from the previous episodes. Our design is based on a novel bilevel optimization formulation which ensures certain ``fairness across different data samples. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the CL approach by integrating it with two popular DNN based models for power control and beamforming, respectively, and testing using both synthetic and ray-tracing based data sets. These numerical results show that the proposed CL approach is not only able to adapt to the new scenarios quickly and seamlessly, but importantly, it also maintains high performance over the previously encountered scenarios as well.
