Distributed matrix computations -- matrix-matrix or matrix-vector multiplications -- are well-recognized to suffer from the problem of stragglers (slow or failed worker nodes). Much of prior work in this area is (i) either sub-optimal in…

In this paper, we propose CodedSketch, as a distributed straggler-resistant scheme to compute an approximation of the multiplication of two massive matrices. The objective is to reduce the recovery threshold, defined as the total number of…

Fault tolerance is a prerequisite for scalable quantum computing. Architectures based on 2D topological codes are effective for near-term implementations of fault tolerance. To obtain high performance with these architectures, we require a…

The error exponent in lossy source coding characterizes the asymptotic decay rate of error probability with respect to blocklength. The Marton's error exponent provides the theoretically optimal bound on this rate. However, computation…

Mutual exclusion (ME) is one of the most commonly used techniques to handle conflicts in concurrent systems. Traditionally, mutual exclusion algorithms have been designed under the assumption that a process does not fail while…

Tensors are a fundamental operation in distributed computing, \emph{e.g.,} machine learning, that are commonly distributed into multiple parallel tasks for large datasets. Stragglers and other failures can severely impact the overall…

As safety-critical applications increasingly rely on data-parallel floating-point computations, there is an increasing need for flexible and configurable fault tolerance in parallel floating-point accelerators such as tensor engines. While…

Massive MIMO systems have the potential to significantly enhance spectral efficiency, yet their widespread integration is hindered by the high power consumption of the underlying computations. This paper explores the applicability and…

We perform forward error analysis for a large class of recursive matrix multiplication algorithms in the spirit of [D. Bini and G. Lotti, Stability of fast algorithms for matrix multiplication, Numer. Math. 36 (1980), 63--72]. As a…

Coded distributed matrix multiplication (CDMM) schemes, such as MatDot codes, seek efficient ways to distribute matrix multiplication task(s) to a set of $N$ distributed servers so that the answers returned from any $R$ servers are…

In distributed matrix multiplication, a common scenario is to assign each worker a fraction of the multiplication task, by partitioning the input matrices into smaller submatrices. In particular, by dividing two input matrices into…

Achieving fault-tolerance will require a strong relationship between the hardware and the protocols used. Different approaches will therefore naturally have tailored proof-of-principle experiments to benchmark progress. Nevertheless,…

The future power grid may rely on distributed optimization to determine the set-points for huge numbers of distributed energy resources. There has been significant work on applying distributed algorithms to optimal power flow (OPF)…

It has been established that when the gradient coding problem is distributed among $n$ servers, the computation load (number of stored data partitions) of each worker is at least $s+1$ in order to resists $s$ stragglers. This scheme incurs…

Large-scale machine learning and data mining methods routinely distribute computations across multiple agents to parallelize processing. The time required for computation at the agents is affected by the availability of local resources…

Batch codes are a useful notion of locality for error correcting codes, originally introduced in the context of distributed storage and cryptography. Many constructions of batch codes have been given, but few lower bound (limitation)…

With the increasing deployment of deep neural networks (DNNs) in terrestrial and aerospace safety-critical applications, system reliability has emerged as a co-equal design metric alongside computational efficiency. Algorithm-based fault…

We study coding schemes for error correction in interactive communications. Such interactive coding schemes simulate any $n$-round interactive protocol using $N$ rounds over an adversarial channel that corrupts up to $\rho N$ transmissions.…

Let {\alpha} be the maximal value such that the product of an n x n^{\alpha} matrix by an n^{\alpha} x n matrix can be computed with n^{2+o(1)} arithmetic operations. In this paper we show that \alpha>0.30298, which improves the previous…

It is known that the multiplication of an $N \times M$ matrix with an $M \times P$ matrix can be performed using fewer multiplications than what the naive $NMP$ approach suggests. The most famous instance of this is Strassen's algorithm for…
