We introduce a new framework for distributed computing that extends and refines the standard master-worker approach of scheduling multi-threaded computations. In this framework, there are different roles: a supervisor, a source, a target,…

We consider a distributed computing network consisting of a master and multiple workers processing tasks of different types. The master is running multiple applications. Each application stochastically generates real-time jobs with a strict…

Internet supercomputing is an approach to solving partitionable, computation-intensive problems by harnessing the power of a vast number of interconnected computers. For the problem of using network supercomputing to perform a large…

The paper is devoted to an analytical study of the "master-worker" framework scalability on multiprocessors with distributed memory. A new model of parallel computations called BSF is proposed. The BSF model is based on BSP and SPMD models.…

We consider a parallel system of $m$ identical machines prone to unpredictable crashes and restarts, trying to cope with the continuous arrival of tasks to be executed. Tasks have different computational requirements (i.e., processing time…

The rise of the Internet of Things and edge computing has shifted computing resources closer to end-users, benefiting numerous delay-sensitive, computation-intensive applications. To speed up computation, distributed computing is a…

Coded computing has proved to be useful in distributed computing. We have observed that almost all coded computing systems studied so far consider a setup of one master and some workers. However, recently emerging technologies such as…

The parallel and distributed processing are becoming de facto industry standard, and a large part of the current research is targeted on how to make computing scalable and distributed, dynamically, without allocating the resources on…

With the dissemination of affordable parallel and distributed hardware, parallel and distributed constraint solving has lately been the focus of some attention. To effectually apply the power of distributed computational systems, there must…

The emerging large-scale and data-hungry algorithms require the computations to be delegated from a central server to several worker nodes. One major challenge in the distributed computations is to tackle delays and failures caused by the…

Coded distributed computing framework enables large-scale machine learning (ML) models to be trained efficiently in a distributed manner, while mitigating the straggler effect. In this work, we consider a multi-task assignment problem in a…

Distributed computing enables large-scale computation tasks to be processed over multiple workers in parallel. However, the randomness of communication and computation delays across workers causes the straggler effect, which may degrade the…

Master-worker distributed computing systems use task replication in order to mitigate the effect of slow workers, known as stragglers. Tasks are grouped into batches and assigned to one or more workers for execution. We first consider the…

This paper studies the master-worker distributed linearly separable computation problem, where the considered computation task, referred to as linearly separable function, is a typical linear transform model widely used in cooperative…

This work considers the problem of finding analytical expressions for the expected values of dis- tributed computing performance metrics when the underlying communication network has a complex structure. Through active probing tests a real…

With the increasing demand for large-scale training of machine learning models, consensus-based distributed optimization methods have recently been advocated as alternatives to the popular parameter server framework. In this paradigm, each…

Recently, the problem of multitasking scheduling has attracted a lot of attention in the service industries where workers frequently perform multiple tasks by switching from one task to another. Hall, Leung and Li (Discrete Applied…

Geo-distributed computing, a paradigm that assigns computational tasks to globally distributed nodes, has emerged as a promising approach in cloud computing, edge computing, cloud-edge computing and supercomputer computing (HPC). It enables…

A human computation system can be viewed as a distributed system in which the processors are humans, called workers. Such systems harness the cognitive power of a group of workers connected to the Internet to execute relatively simple…

This paper presents a multiagent approach as a paradigm for scheduling parallel jobs in a parallel system. Scheduling parallel jobs is performed as a means to balance the load of a system in order to improve the performance of a parallel…
