Deep neural networks (DNNs) are becoming the core components of many applications running on edge devices, especially for real time image-based analysis. Increasingly, multi-faced knowledge is extracted via executing multiple DNNs inference models, e.g., identifying objects, faces, and genders from images. The response times multi-DNN highly affect users' quality experience safety as well. Different exhibit diversified resource requirements execution patterns across layers networks, which...
Federated Learning (FL) is a popular deep learning approach that prevents centralizing large amounts of data, and instead relies on clients update global model using their local datasets. Classical FL algorithms use central federator that, for each training round, waits all to send updates before aggregating them. In practical deployments, might have different computing powers network capabilities, which lead slow become performance bottlenecks. Previous works suggested deadline round so the...

Federated learning (FL) enables a set of geographically distributed clients to collectively train model through server. Classically, the training process is synchronous, but can be made asynchronous maintain its speed in presence slow and heterogeneous networks.

In time-lapse seismic studies involving compacting reservoirs, vertical time-shifts are frequently observed and prove useful for mapping out the areal distribution of reservoir compaction (Hatchell Bourne, 2005). addition to shifts, some work has shown that horizontal or lateral shifts also present in data (e.g., Hall et al., 2002; Hall, 2006; Hale, 2007) these large, directed outward from reservoir, carry information different shifts. Although methods extracting have been described, origin...

However, it is little known how different scheduling policies further improve runtime performance multi-inference without additional...
Federated learning (FL) systems enable multiple clients to train a machine model iteratively through synchronously exchanging the intermediate weights with single server. The scalability of such FL can be limited by two factors: server idle time due synchronous communication and risk becoming bottleneck. In this paper, we propose new architecture, our knowledge, first multi-server system that is entirely asynchronous, therefore addresses these limitations simultaneously. Our solution keeps...
