Exploring Tradeoffs in Federated Learning on Serverless Computing Architectures

Conference ·

Federated learning is driving the development of new techniques to efficiently and securely use data across multiple sites while using diverse resources. One of these techniques is the use of the serverless computing paradigm to abstract away resource specific configurations, allowing federated learning across heterogeneous environments. However, deploying federated learning across edge resources, the cloud, and traditional HPC sites will require specialized approaches in order to best account for the weaknesses and strengths of each resource. In this work, we explore the new tradeoffs presented by managing a federated learning task across heterogeneous resources and demonstrate these tradeoffs with experiments using a serverless federated learning framework.
