Ubiquitous learning as a new concept has been accepted by more and more countries since it is proposed. Many countries are researching and practicing deeply which makes it develop rapidly. However, it lacks further research on its real connotation, advantages, trend etc. Ubiquitous learning will be the revolution of learning paradigm. We should research and understand the concept of U-learning, its advantages and its trend in a multi-dimensional point of view.
Efficient scheduling of distributed deep learning (DL) jobs in large GPU clusters is crucial for resource efficiency and job performance. While server sharing among jobs improves resource utilization, interference among co-located DL jobs occurs due to resource contention. Interference-aware job placement has been studied, with white-box approaches based on explicit interference modeling and black-box schedulers with reinforcement learning. In today's clusters containing thousands of GPU servers, running a single scheduler to manage all arrival jobs in a timely and effective manner is challenging, due to the large workload scale. We adopt multiple schedulers in a largescale cluster/data center, and propose a multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) scheduling framework to cooperatively learn fine-grained job placement policies, towards the objective of minimizing job completion time (JCT). To achieve topologyaware placements, our proposed framework uses hierarchical graph neural networks to encode the data center topology and server architecture. In view of a common lack of precise reward samples corresponding to different placements, a job interference model is further devised to predict interference levels in face of various co-locations, for training of the MARL schedulers. Testbed and trace-driven evaluations show that our scheduler framework outperforms representative scheduling schemes by more than 20% in terms of average JCT, and is adaptive to various machine learning cluster topologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
