利用中间值线性相关性改进编码分布式计算的计算-通信权衡

Improved Computation-Communication Trade-Off for Coded Distributed Computing using Linear Dependence of Intermediate Values

Shunsuke Horii

摘要:

在大规模分布式计算系统中,通信开销是主要的瓶颈之一。在作为主要分布式计算框架之一的map-shuffle-reduce框架中,可以通过增加每个服务器的计算负载来减少服务器之间的通信负载,即,在计算负载和通信负载之间存在折衷。最近,它已经表明,编码分布式计算(CDC)通过让服务器编码他们的中间计算结果,改善了这种权衡关系。原始的CDC方案并不假设服务器计算的函数有任何特殊的结构。然而,在实际问题中,这些功能往往有一些结构,和权衡关系可以进一步改善通过使用这些结构。在本文中,我们提出了一个新的计划,进一步改善了权衡关系,利用线性依赖结构的中间计算结果。在映射阶段计算的中间值可被视为$\mathbb{F}_{2}$上的向量。在一些应用中,这些中间值具有线性依赖性,并且在这种情况下,每个服务器发送线性子空间的基和线性组合系数就足够了。因此,所提出的方法在某些应用中改进了最著名的计算-通信开销权衡。

英文摘要:

In large scale distributed computing systems, communication overhead is one of the major bottlenecks. In the map-shuffle-reduce framework, which is one of the major distributed computing frameworks, the communication load among servers can be reduced by increasing the computation load of each server, that is, there is a trade-off between computation load and communication load. Recently, it has been shown that coded distributed computing (CDC) improves this trade-off relationship by letting servers encode their intermediate computation results. The original CDC scheme does not assume any special structures on the functions that servers compute. However, in actual problems, these functions often have some structures, and the trade-off relation may be further improved by using that structures. In this paper, we propose a new scheme that further improves the trade-off relationship by utilizing the linear dependency structure of the intermediate computation results. The intermediate values computed in the map phase can be considered as vectors on $\mathbb{F}_{2}$. In some applications, these intermediate values have a linear dependency and in such cases, it is sufficient for each server to send a basis of the linear subspace and linear combination coefficients. As a result, the proposed approach improves over the best-known computation-communication overhead trade-off in some applications.
