ASYNC: A Cloud Engine with Asynchrony and History for Distributed Machine Learning
Abstrak
ASYNC is a framework that supports the implementation of asynchrony and history for optimization methods on distributed computing platforms. The popularity of asynchronous optimization methods has increased in distributed machine learning. However, their applicability and practical experimentation on distributed systems are limited because current bulk-processing cloud engines do not provide a robust support for asynchrony and history. With introducing three main modules and bookkeeping system-specific and application parameters, ASYNC provides practitioners with a framework to implement asynchronous machine learning methods. To demonstrate ease-of-implementation in ASYNC, the synchronous and asynchronous variants of two well-known optimization methods, stochastic gradient descent and SAGA, are demonstrated in ASYNC.
