About this paper
Jesús Gómez-Vilardebò
This research from CTTC/CERCA introduces multivariate polynomial codes for distributed matrix chain multiplication, specifically addressing the exponential storage overheads of previous univariate coding schemes. The proposed Multi-variate Scheme 2 (MV2) significantly reduces storage and communication costs by allowing for increased computational complexity, offering a more scalable solution for complex linear algebra tasks.
Key insights
- A fundamental trade-off exists in coded distributed matrix chain multiplication: higher computational load at workers can dramatically reduce storage and communication overheads.
- Multivariate polynomial codes can decouple storage and communication costs from exponential dependence on chain length and partition granularity, unlike univariate approaches.
- Optimizing variable assignment in multivariate schemes (e.g., MV2's shared variables) can significantly impact the balance between computational and storage efficiency.
