Abstract: 
Redundancy is abundant in fog networks (i.e., many computing and storage points) and grows linearly with network size. We demonstrate the transformational role of coding in fog computing for leveraging such redundancy to substantially reduce the bandwidth consumption and latency of computing. In particular, we discuss two recently proposed coding concepts, minimum bandwidth codes and minimum latency codes, and illustrate their impacts on fog computing. We also review a unified coding framework that includes the above two coding techniques as special cases, and enables a trade-off between computation latency and communication load to optimize system performance. At the end, we will discuss several open problems and future research directions.

Coded Fourier Transform

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of computing the Fourier transform of high-dimensional vectors, distributedly over a cluster of machines consisting of a master node and multiple worker nodes, where the worker nodes can only store and process a fraction of the inputs.

Wireless Map-Reduce Distributed Computing with Full-Duplex Radios and Imperfect CSI

TL;DR: In this paper, a superposition coding based scheme is proposed that is demonstrated to outperform both coded multicasting and cooperative transmission under the assumption of imperfect CSI, and it is shown that the scheme is able to reduce the high-Signal-to-Noise Ratio communication load by half in the presence of full-duplex nodes and perfect transmit-side CSI.

Numerically Stable Binary Gradient Coding

TL;DR: This work presents a binary scheme which avoids operations over the real or complex numbers, thereby enabling numerically stable distributed computation of the gradient, and some restricting assumptions in prior work are dropped, and a more efficient decoding is given.

Coded Computing for Secure Boolean Computations

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of computing a Boolean function in a distributed computing system with particular focus on security against Byzantine workers is considered, and three different schemes are proposed: coded algebraic normal form, coded disjunctive normal form and coded polynomial threshold function (PTF).

MapReduce: simplified data processing on large clusters

TL;DR: This presentation explains how the underlying runtime system automatically parallelizes the computation across large-scale clusters of machines, handles machine failures, and schedules inter-machine communication to make efficient use of the network and disks.
