Communication in poor network environment is always a difficult problem, since troubles such as bit errors and packet loss may often occur. It is generally believed that it is impossible to transmit data both accurately and efficiently in…
Modern data parallel (DP) training favors collective communication over parameter servers (PS) for its simplicity and efficiency under balanced workloads. However, the balanced workload assumption no longer holds in large language model…
Frequently, randomly organized data is needed to avoid an anomalous operation of other algorithms and computational processes. An analogy is that a deck of cards is ordered within the pack, but before a game of poker or solitaire the deck…

A group of $n$ users want to run a distributed protocol $\pi$ over a network where communication occurs via private point-to-point channels. Unfortunately, an adversary, who knows $\pi$, is able to maliciously flip bits on the channels. Can…

$O(\log n)$ rounds has been a well known upper bound for rumor spreading using push&pull in the random phone call model (i.e., uniform gossip in the complete graph). A matching lower bound of $\Omega(\log n)$ is also known for this special…
The full-information model was introduced by Ben-Or and Linial in 1985 to study collective coin-flipping: the problem of generating a common bounded-bias bit in a network of $n$ players with $t=t(n)$ faults. They showed that the majority…
We consider the standard two-party communication model. The central problem studied in this article is how much one can save in information complexity by allowing an error of $\epsilon$. For arbitrary functions, we obtain lower bounds and…
This paper considers the slotted ALOHA protocol in a communication channel shared by N users. It is assumed that the channel has the multiple-packet reception (MPR) capability that allows the correct reception of up to M ($1 \leq M < N$)…
