分散式梯度下降的自动最坏情况性能分析

Automated Worst-Case Performance Analysis of Decentralized Gradient Descent

Sebastien Colla, Julien M. Hendrickx

摘要:

我们开发了一种方法来自动计算最坏情况下的性能界限的一类分散的算法,优化分布在网络上的局部函数的平均值。我们扩展了最近提出的PEP方法分散优化。这种方法允许通过求解SDP来计算集中式算法的确切最坏情况性能和最坏情况实例。我们得到一个精确的配方时,网络矩阵的给定,并放宽考虑整个类的网络矩阵,其特征在于其频谱范围。我们将我们的方法应用于分散(子)梯度法,获得了一个几乎紧密的最坏情况下的性能界,显着提高了文献,并获得洞察到最差的通信网络为一个给定的频谱范围。

英文摘要:

We develop a methodology to automatically compute worst-case performance bounds for a class of decentralized algorithms that optimize the average of local functions distributed across a network. We extend the recently proposed PEP approach to decentralized optimization. This approach allows computing the exact worst-case performance and worst-case instance of centralized algorithms by solving an SDP. We obtain an exact formulation when the network matrix is given, and a relaxation when considering entire classes of network matrices characterized by their spectral range. We apply our methodology to the decentralized (sub)gradient method, obtain a nearly tight worst-case performance bound that significantly improves over the literature, and gain insights into the worst communication networks for a given spectral range.
