This paper presents an asynchronous distributed algorithm to manage multiple trees for peer-to-peer streaming in a flow level model. It is assumed that videos are cut into substreams, with or without source coding, to be distributed to all…
Power systems are subject to fundamental changes due to the increasing infeed of decentralised renewable energy sources and storage. The decentralised nature of the new actors in the system requires new concepts for structuring the power…
We investigate networks of automata that synchronise over common action labels. A graph synchronisation topology between the automata is defined in such a way that two automata are connected iff they can synchronise over an action. We show…
Collective communications are ubiquitous in parallel applications. We present two new algorithms for performing a reduction. The operation associated with our reduction needs to be associative and commutative. The two algorithms are…
Network topology is critical for efficient parameter synchronization in distributed learning over networks. However, most existing studies do not account for bandwidth limitations in network topology design. In this paper, we propose a…
We propose that clusters interconnected with network topologies having minimal mean path length will increase their overall performance for a variety of applications. We approach our heuristic by constructing clusters of up to 36 nodes…
Multiparty private set intersection (MPSI) allows multiple participants to compute the intersection of their locally owned data sets without revealing them. MPSI protocols can be categorized based on the network topology of nodes, with the…
MPI collective operations provide a standardized interface for performing data movements within a group of processes. The efficiency of collective communication operations depends on the actual algorithm, its implementation, and the…
This paper proposes a passive optical backplane as a new network topology for composable computing infrastructures. The topology provides a high capacity, low-latency and flexible fabric that interconnects disaggregated resource components.…
Recent advances in large language model-powered multi-agent systems have demonstrated remarkable collective intelligence through effective communication. However, existing approaches face two primary challenges: (i) \textit{Ineffective…
Recent works try to optimise collective communication in grid systems focusing mostly on the optimisation of communications among different clusters. We believe that intra-cluster collective communications should also be optimised, as a way…
Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is an extension to TCP which aggregates multiple parallel connections over available network interfaces. MPTCP bases its scheduling decisions on the individual RTT values observed at the subflows, but does not attempt…
This paper presents an algorithm to automatically design two-level fat-tree networks, such as ones widely used in large-scale data centres and cluster supercomputers. The two levels may each use a different type of switches from design…
We propose a new family of multilevel methods for unconstrained minimization. The resulting strategies are multilevel extensions of high-order optimization methods based on q-order Taylor models (with q >= 1) that have been recently…
Tree-structured multi-task architectures have been employed to jointly tackle multiple vision tasks in the context of multi-task learning (MTL). The major challenge is to determine where to branch out for each task given a backbone model to…
For power grid operations, a large body of research focuses on using generation redispatching, load shedding or demand side management flexibilities. However, a less costly and potentially more flexible option would be grid topology…
Asynchronous tasks, when created with over-decomposition, enable automatic computation-communication overlap which can substantially improve performance and scalability. This is not only applicable to traditional CPU-based systems, but also…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable success across a wide range of tasks, but serving them efficiently at scale remains a critical challenge due to their substantial computational and latency demands. While most existing…
This work clarifies the relation between network circuit (topology) and behavior (information transmission and synchronization) in active networks, e.g. neural networks. As an application, we show how to determine a network topology that is…
Multicast data transfers occur in many distributed systems and applications (e.g. IPTV, Grids, content delivery networks). Because of this, efficient multicast data distribution optimization techniques are required. In the first part of…
