Modeling Scalability of Distributed Machine Learning
Present day machine learning is computationally intensive and processes large
amounts of data. It is implemented in a distributed fashion in order to address
these scalability issues. The work is parallelized across a number of computing
nodes. It is usually hard to estimate in advance how many nodes to use for a
particular workload. We propose a simple framework for estimating the
scalability of distributed machine learning algorithms. We measure the
scalability by means of the speedup an algorithm achieves with more nodes. We
propose time complexity models for gradient descent and graphical model
inference. We validate our models with experiments on deep learning training
and belief propagation. This framework was used to study the scalability of
machine learning algorithms in Apache Spark.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, appears at ICDE 201
