Abstract Federated learning is an emerging machine learning technique that enables clients to collaboratively train a deep learning model without uploading raw data to the aggregation server. Each client may be equipped with different computing resources for model training. The client equipped with a lower computing capability requires more time for model training, resulting in a prolonged training time in federated learning. Moreover, it may fail to train the entire model because of the out-of-memory issue. This study aims to tackle these problems and propose the federated feature concatenate (FedFC) method for federated learning considering heterogeneous clients. FedFC leverages the model… More >

Abstract In recent years, with the development of processor architecture, heterogeneous processors including Center processing unit (CPU) and Graphics processing unit (GPU) have become the mainstream. However, due to the differences of heterogeneous core, the heterogeneous system is now facing many problems that need to be solved. In order to solve these problems, this paper try to focus on the utilization and efficiency of heterogeneous core and design some reasonable resource scheduling strategies. To improve the performance of the system, this paper proposes a combination strategy for a single task and a multi-task scheduling strategy for multiple tasks. The combination strategy… More >
