Meanwhile, the hardware platform towards the heterogeneous system with various accelerators. By mapping layers to their differentpreferred accelerators, the computation cost of each layer can be reduced. While mapping these layers on the same accelerator can reduce the inter-accelerator communication cost. These two costs are often competing and difficult to optimize simultaneously. Therefore, the core challenge in achieving efficient execution of DNN workloads on heterogeneous systems is: how to map layers to achieve the best trade-off between computation and communication costs. Existing works group layers into blocks and perform block-wise mapping to reduce inter-layer communication within blocks. However, when grouping layers, they typically rely on model-agnostic rules, which fail to hide critical inter-layer communication within blocks for diverse DNNs. Moreover, after block mapping, the lack of intra-block resource allocation further increases computation cost of block. In this paper, we propose <italic>GHCoM</i>, a novel block-wise mapping framework for exploring the effective cost trade-offs. <italic>GHCoM</i> employs an adaptive grouping strategy to guide layer grouping based on the topology of DNNs and dynamically adjust the grouping according to the trade-off target. Furthermore, <italic>GHCoM</i> considers the fine-grained allocation of computation (i.e., processing elements) and communication (i.e., on-chip bandwidth) resources within each block to mitigate inter-layer resource contention. To jointly optimize layer grouping, block-wise mapping and intra-block resource allocation, <italic>GHCoM</i> leverages a two-level genetic algorithm (GA) with tailored encodings and operators that capture the interdependence across the entire design space. Experiments across various workloads and system configurations show that <italic>GHCoM</i> consistently outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving 1.08× to 4.79× speedup in execution latency and reducing energy consumption by 1.83% to 87.71%.","PeriodicalId":13257,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems","volume":"37 4","pages":"1015-1031"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147362433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, we propose a federated learning framework called Fed-Grow, which enables multiple participants to collaboratively learn a lightweight scaling operation that transfers knowledge from pretrained small models to a large transformer model. In Fed-Grow, we introduce the Dual-LiGO (Dual Linear Growth Operator) architecture, consisting of Local-LiGO and Global-LiGO components. Local-LiGO addresses model heterogeneity by adapting each participant’s pre-trained model to a common intermediate form, while Global-LiGO facilitates knowledge sharing across participants without sharing local models or raw data, ensuring privacy preservation. This federated approach offers a scalable solution for growing large transformers in a distributed manner, where only the Global-LiGO is shared, significantly reducing communication overhead while maintaining comparable model performance under the same communication constraints. Experimental results demonstrate that Fed-Grow outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and precision, while reducing the number of trainable parameters by 59.25% and communication costs by 73.01% . These improvements allow for higher efficiency in training large models in distributed environments, without sacrificing performance.

These platforms execute an application’s functions inside ephemeral containers and scale the number of containers based on incoming request rates. To meet service level objectives (SLOs), they often over-provision resources by maintaining warm containers or rapidly spawning new ones during traffic bursts. However, this strategy frequently leads to inefficient resource utilization, especially during periods of low activity. Prior research addresses this issue through intelligent scheduling, lightweight virtualization, and container-sharing mechanisms. More recent work aims to improve resource utilization by remodeling the execution of a function within a container to better separate compute and I/O stages. Despite these improvements, existing approaches often introduce delays during execution and induce memory pressure under traffic bursts. In this paper, we present Styx, a novel workflow engine that enhances resource utilization by intelligently decoupling compute and I/O stages. Styx employs a fetch latency predictor that uses real-time system metrics from both the serverless node and the remote storage server to accurately estimate prefetch operations, ensuring input data is available exactly when needed. Furthermore, it offloads the output data upload operation from a container to a host-side data service, thereby efficiently managing provisioned memory. Our approach improves the overall memory allocation by 32.6% when running all the serverless workflows simultaneously when compared to Dataflower + Truffle. Additionally, this method improves the tail latency and the mean latency of a workflow by an average of 26.3% and 21%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":13257,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems","volume":"37 4","pages":"982-996"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147299679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Skewed workloads lead to load imbalance among servers, and those holding hotspots become system bottlenecks, degrading overall performance. Recent studies show that load imbalance can be eliminated by deploying a small, fast cache node in front of back-end servers, i.e., in-network cache. Programmable switches enable placing such caches on switches where traffic must pass. Although existing in-network cache schemes effectively balance loads in large-scale storage systems, they perform poorly under write-intensive workloads and lose scalability with growing clients due to imbalanced cache nodes. This paper introduces HarmonyCache, a scalable, high-performance in-network cache system that supports write-back. HarmonyCache employs cache replication and read-write separation: only one cache node handles write requests, while others serve reads only. To achieve scalability and minimize coherence overhead, HarmonyCache proposes an adaptive cache replication scheme to determine where and how many replicas to deploy. In addition, we design heterogeneous in-network caches using different switch resources and propose a hybrid caching scheme. Prototype and extensive experiments show that HarmonyCache significantly improves throughput under various access patterns (read/write-intensive), achieving up to 7.6× throughput gain over state-of-the-art solutions under skewed write-intensive workloads.","PeriodicalId":13257,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems","volume":"37 4","pages":"920-933"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146223824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These challenges are exacerbated by diverse computational demands and varying application scenarios in stream processing, which lead to increased hardware requirements. Hybrid computing architectures provide a transformative solution in this context by integrating heterogeneous processing units, such as discrete GPUs, CPU-GPU integrated architectures, and edge computing devices to enhance performance. In this paper, we introduce ComStar, a novel compression-aware stream SQL query system that leverages the capabilities of hybrid computing architectures to execute direct queries on compressed stream data without decompression, greatly improving query performance. ComStar incorporates nine lightweight compression algorithms and features an adaptive compression algorithm selector, which optimally chooses the appropriate algorithm based on data characteristics and network conditions. Additionally, ComStar implements a hierarchical multi-tier execution to select the optimal architecture and specific devices for compressed stream SQL queries, enabling fine-grained and efficient execution across the hybrid architecture. Our experiments demonstrate that ComStar achieves an average throughput improvement of 75.6% under 100 Mbps network conditions, leveraging its unique compression-aware query capabilities to outperform contemporary solutions. At a higher network speed of 1 Gbps, ComStar improves throughput by an average of 47.4%. Additionally, ComStar achieves a 28.6% improvement in the throughput/price ratio compared to traditional methods, and a 71.4% enhancement in the throughput/power ratio.

This work focuses on training large-scale distributed GNNs, where partitioning massive graphs across multiple machines creates remote communication overhead that becomes a major scalability bottleneck. We introduce a policy-driven caching mechanism that prioritizes node features and embeddings based on access frequency and cross-partition fetch cost, significantly minimizing communication overhead without sacrificing accuracy. Our policies are based on analysis of Node Affinities (NAFs) during multi-hop neighborhood sampling that extend substantially beyond the graph partition boundaries. Analyzing NAFs not only alleviates the communication bottleneck but also provides a systematic mechanism to manage in-memory data effectively, prioritizing GPU storage for node features with high fetch latency. We present FLARE, a system designed to handle partitioned feature data while leveraging the NAF-based caching policy.

While modern FPGAs integrate high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to increase local memory throughput, network interfaces often lag behind, creating an imbalance between computation and communication resources. Data compression is a technique to increase effective communication bandwidth by reducing the amount of data transferred, but existing solutions struggle to meet the performance and operation latency requirements of FPGA-based platforms. This paper presents a high-throughput lossy compression framework that enables sub-microsecond latency communication in FPGA clusters. The proposed design addresses the challenge of aligning variable-length compressed data with fixed-width network channels by using transpose circuits, memory-bank reordering, and word-wise operations. A run-length encoding scheme with bounded error is employed to compress floating-point and fixed-point data without relying on complex fine-grained bit-level manipulations, enabling low-latency and scalable implementation. The proposed architecture is implemented on a custom Stratix 10 MX2100 FPGA card equipped with eight 50 Gbps network ports and silicon photonics transceivers. The system achieves up to 757 Gbps of aggregate bandwidth per FPGA in collective communication operations.

However, choosing the appropriate data formats brings a challenging tuning problem: precision parameters must be chosen to maximize performance while preserving numerical accuracy. At the same time, GPU kernels typically expose additional tunable optimization parameters, such as block size, tiling strategy, and vector width. The combination of these two kinds of parameters results in a complex trade-off between accuracy and performance, making manual exploration of the resulting design space time-consuming. In this work, we present an <i>accuracy-aware</i> extension to the open-source <i>Kernel Tuner</i> framework, enabling automatic tuning of floating-point precision parameters alongside conventional code-optimization parameters. We evaluate our accuracy-aware tuning solution on both Nvidia and AMD GPUs using a variety of kernels. Our results show speedups of up to <inline-formula><tex-math>$12{times }$</tex-math></inline-formula> over double precision, demonstrate how Kernel Tuner’s built-in search strategies are effective for accuracy-aware tuning, and show that our approach can be extended to other optimization objectives, such as memory footprint or energy efficiency. Moreover, we highlight that jointly tuning accuracy- and performance-affecting parameters outperforms isolated approaches in finding the best-performing configurations, despite significantly expanding the optimization space. This unified approach enables developers to trade accuracy for throughput systematically, enabling broader adoption of mixed-precision computing in scientific and industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":13257,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems","volume":"37 4","pages":"867-884"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11367475","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146223784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
