ScaDL 2020: 2nd Workshop on Scalable Deep Learning over Parallel and Distributed Infrastructure
Colocated with IPDPS 2020
https://2020.scadl.org/call-for-papers
----------------------

Areas of Interest
In this workshop, we solicit research papers focused on distributed deep learning aiming to achieve efficiency and scalability for deep learning jobs over distributed and parallel systems. Papers focusing both on algorithms as well as systems are welcome. We invite authors to submit papers on topics including but not limited to:
-Deep learning on HPC systems
-Deep learning for edge devices
-Model-parallel and data-parallel techniques
-Asynchronous SGD for Training DNNs
-Communication-Efficient Training of DNNs
-Model/data/gradient compression
-Learning in Resource constrained environments
-Elasticity training of machine learning and deep learning jobs
-Hyper-parameter tuning for deep learning jobs
-Hardware Acceleration for Deep Learning
-Scalability of deep learning jobs on large number of nodes
-Deep learning on heterogeneous infrastructure
-Efficient and Scalable Inference
-Data storage/access in shared networks for deep learning jobs
