Design And Experimental Evaluation Of Deepmarket: An Edge Computing Marketplace With Distributed Tensorflow Execution Capability, Soyoung Kim

Dissertations and Theses

There is a rise in demand among machine learning researchers for powerful computational resources to train complex machine learning models, e.g., deep learning models. In order to train these models in a reasonable amount of time, the training is often distributed among multiple machines; yet paying for such machines (either through renting them on cloud data centers or building a local infrastructure) is costly. DeepMarket attempts to reduce these costs by creating a marketplace that integrates multiple computational resources over a distributed TensorFlow framework. Instead of requiring users to rent expensive GPU/CPUs from a third-party cloud provider, DeepMarket allows users …
