Abstract: Version vector-based rules are used to facilitate asynchronous execution of machine learning algorithms. The method uses version vector based rule to generate aggregated parameters and determine when to return the parameters. The method also includes coordinating the versions of aggregated parameter sets among all the parameter servers. This allows to broadcast to enforce the version consistency; generate parameter sets in an on-demand manner to facilitate version control. Furthermore the method includes enhancing the version consistency at the learner's side and resolving the inconsistent version when mismatching versions are detected.

Abstract: One or more parameter changes for one or more parameters are computed at one or more worker nodes. The one or more parameters on a remote server are updated based on the computed one or more parameter changes. The updating is performed via one or more remote direct memory access atomic operations with the remote server.

Abstract: A method for compressing a group of key-value pairs, the method including dividing the group of key-value pairs into a plurality of segments, creating a plurality of blocks, each block of the plurality of blocks corresponding to a segment of the plurality of segments, and compressing each block of the plurality of blocks.

Abstract: A cache management system performs cache management in a Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) key value data store. The cache management system receives a request from at least one client configured to access a data item stored in a data location of a remote server, and determines a popularity of the data item based on a frequency at which the data location is accessed by the at least one client. The system is further configured to determine a lease period of the data item based on the frequency and assigning the lease period to the data location.
