Here we propose to parallelize the well-established covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) and in particular its one latest LSO variant called limited-memory CMA-ES (LM-CMA). To achieve efficiency while approximating its powerful invariance property, we present a multilevel learning-based meta-framework for distributed LM-CMA. Owing to its hierarchically organized structure, Meta-ES is well-suited to implement our distributed meta-framework, wherein the outer-ES controls strategy parameters while all parallel inner-ESs run the serial LM-CMA with different settings. For the distribution mean update of the outer-ES, both the elitist and multi-recombination strategy are used in parallel to avoid stagnation and regression, respectively. To exploit spatiotemporal information, the global step-size adaptation combines Meta-ES with the parallel cumulative step-size adaptation. After each isolation time, our meta-framework employs both the structure and parameter learning strategy to combine aligned evolution paths for CMA reconstruction. Experiments on a set of large-scale benchmarking functions with memory-intensive evaluations, arguably reflecting many data-driven optimization problems, validate the benefits (e.g., effectiveness w.r.t. solution quality, and adaptability w.r.t. second-order learning) and costs of our meta-framework.","PeriodicalId":13257,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems","volume":"35 11","pages":"2087-2101"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141883789","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}

Meanwhile, the preferences of workers and the popularity values of tasks might involve some sensitive information, which should be protected from disclosure. To address these concerns, we propose a Privacy Preserving Auction-based Bandit scheme, termed PPAB. Specifically, on the basis of the Combinatorial Multi-armed Bandit (CMAB) game, we first construct a Differentially Private Auction-based CMAB (DPA-CMAB) model. Under the DPA-CMAB model, we design a privacy-preserving arm-pulling policy based on Diffie-Hellman (DH), Differential Privacy (DP), and upper confidence bound, which includes the DH-based encryption mechanism and the hybrid DP-based protection mechanism. The policy not only can learn the popularity of tasks and make online task push decisions, but also can protect the popularity as well as workers’ preferences from being revealed. Meanwhile, we design an auction-based incentive mechanism to determine the payment for each selected task. Furthermore, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the security and online performance of PPAB, and prove that PPAB satisfies some desired properties (i.e., truthfulness, individual rationality, and computational efficiency). Finally, the significant performance of PPAB is confirmed through extensive simulations on the real-world dataset.","PeriodicalId":13257,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems","volume":"35 11","pages":"2039-2053"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141869342","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}

Nonetheless, most sorting algorithms utilizing dedicated processors are designed solely based on the parallelization of the algorithm, lacking considerations of specialized hardware structures. This leads to problems, including but not limited to the consumption of excessive I/O interface resources, on-chip storage resources, and complex layout wiring. In this paper, we propose a Systolic Sorter Array, implemented by a Uniform Recurrence Equation (URE) with highly parameterised in terms of data size, bit width and type. Leveraging this uniformly recursive structure, the sorter can simultaneously sort two independent sequences.

FPGA clusters, with their direct, tightly coupled, low-latency interconnects, are able to address these requirements.

This work introduces Sven, a co-designed algorithm-system library aimed at accelerating TGNN training on a multi-GPU platform. Exploiting dependency patterns of TGNN models, we develop a redundancy-free graph organization to mitigate redundant data transfer. Additionally, we investigate communication imbalance issues among devices and formulate the graph partitioning problem as minimizing the maximum communication balance cost, which is proved to be an NP-hard problem. We propose an approximation algorithm called Re-FlexBiCut to tackle this problem. Furthermore, we incorporate prefetching, adaptive micro-batch pipelining, and asynchronous pipelining to present a hierarchical pipelining mechanism that mitigates the communication overhead.

However, due to distinct computation, data access, and memory usage characteristics of recommendation models, the trainning of DLRMs may suffer from low resource utilization on prevalent heterogeneous CPU-GPU hardware platforms. Furthermore, as the majority of high-performance computing systems presently depend on multi-GPU computing nodes, the challenge of addressing low resource utilization becomes even more pronounced. Existing concurrent training solutions cannot be straightforwardly applied to DLRM due to various factors, such as insufficient fine-grained memory management and the lack of collaborative CPU-GPU scheduling. In this paper, we introduce RMixer, a scheduling framework that addresses these challenges by providing an efficient job management and scheduling mechanism for DLRM training jobs on heterogeneous CPU-GPU platforms. To facilitate training co-location, we first estimate the peak memory consumption of each job. Additionally, we track and collect resource utilization for DLRM training jobs. Based on the information of computational patterns, a batched job dispatcher with dynamic resource-complementary scheduling policy is proposed to co-locate DLRM training jobs on CPU-GPU platform. Scheduling strategies for both intra-GPU and inter-GPU scenarios were meticulously devised, with a focus on thoroughly examining individual GPU resource utilization and achieving a balanced state across multiple GPUs.
