Demystifying Parallel and Distributed Deep Learning: An In-depth Concurrency Analysis
Tal Ben-Nun,Torsten Hoefler +1 more
TL;DR: The problem of parallelization in DNNs is described from a theoretical perspective, followed by approaches for its parallelization, and potential directions for parallelism in deep learning are extrapolated.

Characterizing the Influence of System Noise on Large-Scale Applications by Simulation
TL;DR: An in-depth analysis of the impact of system noise on large-scale parallel application performance in realistic settings shows that not only collective operations but also point-to-point communications influence the application's sensitivity to noise.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Slim fly: a cost effective low-diameter network topology
Maciej Besta,Torsten Hoefler +1 more
TL;DR: Slim Fly as mentioned in this paper is based on graphs that approximate the solution to the degree-diameter problem, which has significant advantages over other topologies in latency, bandwidth, resiliency, cost, and power consumption.
