Topic: Pervasive AI: A System Perspective
Speaker: PengLi, Senior Associate Professor, University of Aizu, Japan
Abstract:
The recent success of machine learning, especially deep learning, stems from the availability of big data and strong computational power brought by cutting-edge hardware (e.g., GPUs and TPUs). Facing massive computational loads, it is inefficient or sometimes impossible to train models on a single machine, driving attention towards distributed machine learning on multiple machines. This talk reviews the recent research efforts about distributed systems for machine learning. It starts from data centers, and present concepts and motivations of distributed machine learning, paying special attention on machine learning job scheduling on heterogeneous GPUs. Then, it walks out of data centers to show how to extend the distributed machine learning ideas to edge devices. Finally, it presents new challenges of training distributed unstructured data, graphs, and possible solutions.
