Abstract:
The distributed optimization problem has become increasingly relevant recently. It has a lot of advantages such as processing a large amount of data in less time compared to non-distributed methods. However, most distributed approaches suffer from a significant bottleneck – the cost of communications. Therefore, a large amount of research has recently been directed at solving this problem. One such approach uses local data similarity. In particular, there exists an algorithm provably optimally exploiting the similarity property. But this result, as well as results from other works solve the communication bottleneck by focusing only on the fact that communication is significantly more expensive than local computing and does not take into account the various capacities of network devices and the different relationship between communication time and local computing expenses. We consider this setup and the objective of this study is to achieve an optimal ratio of distributed data between the server and local machines for any costs of communications and local computations. The running times of the network are compared between uniform and optimal distributions. The superior theoretical performance of our solutions is experimentally validated.
