Compute-First Networking: Modern Infrastructure for Distributed Machine Learning

主讲人：Dirk Kutscher 教授 

香港科技大学

讲座摘要：

      Large-scale distributed machine learning systems such as large language models are increasingly hitting performance problems due to the limited scalability of the distributed systems and communication platforms that underpin these systems. This talk introduces the current problems and illustrate the research challenges in designing transport protocols and distributed computing primitives for overcoming them.
