DRJLRA: A Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Joint Load and Resource Allocation in Heterogeneous Coded Distributed Computing
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the DRJLRA algorithm, a load and resource allocation scheme based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for a generic multi-master, multi-worker coded distributed computing (CDC) system. Our aim is to minimize the combined delay of communication and computation for a set of matrix-vector multiplication tasks. The proposed DRL-based approach has several unique features that set it apart from existing literature. Firstly, it is applicable to general CDC systems with multiple masters and workers. Additionally, it considers multi-task CDC systems with stochastic task arrivals, takes into account the heterogeneity of workers with random computation and communication delays, and utilizes the state-of-the-art soft actor-critic (SAC) DRL algorithm, making it versatile and efficient in handling complex and dynamic CDC environments. Our results demonstrate that DRJLRA outperforms benchmark schemes significantly. It is thus well-suited for real-world CDC systems with diverse and dynamic workloads.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
