Abstract
Coded computation is a method to mitigate “stragglers” in distributed computing systems through the use of error correction coding that has lately received significant attention. First used in vector-matrix multiplication, the range of application was later extended to include matrix-matrix multiplication, heterogeneous networks, convolution, and approximate computing. A drawback to previous results is they completely ignore work completed by stragglers. While stragglers are slower compute nodes, in many settings the amount of work completed by stragglers can be non-negligible. Thus, in this work, we propose a hierarchical coded computation method that exploits the work completed by all compute nodes. We partition each node's computation into layers of sub-computations such that each layer can be treated as (distinct) erasure channel. We then design different erasure codes for each layer so that all layers have the same failure exponent. We propose design guidelines to optimize parameters of such codes. Numerical results show the proposed scheme has an improvement of a factor of 1.5 in the expected finishing time compared to previous work.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
