Two Birds

Night had begun to envelop Dholavira, as we trudged back from the site of an ancient settlement, weary from a day's worth of travel and exploration. An interesting question loomed before us - one we had been staving off for later. Find a place to stay. There was no way

PipeDream: The Dreamweaver of Distributed Training

PipeDream: The Dreamweaver of Distributed Training

The authors of PipeDream set out to solve an ambitious problem - how do you train a colossal model on a distributed cluster? Dividing the vast dataset required to support model training is certainly needed. With huge models, we may even need to segment the model itself into various stages.

MapReduce: Distributed Computing For All

MapReduce: Distributed Computing For All

Computer science is the science of abstractions. So much simply happens because a group of developers somewhere set out to abstract out a complex process for developers everywhere. But there's still a balancing act. Too many abstractions introduces too many overheads - too few and we're reinventing the wheel. One

Google File System: Chunk and Conquer

Google File System: Chunk and Conquer

The Google File System is a widely studied distributed file system. Its ability to provide a scalabily and fault tolerance on inexpensive commodity hardware made it a platform of choice within Google. The design goals of this file system was similar to its predecessors - performance, scalability, reliability and availability

Git Magic - From Chaos to Ordered Collaboration

Git Magic - From Chaos to Ordered Collaboration

Why Git? Once the why is clear, the how is easy This is easy. We want to be able to take snapshots of our code at critical junctures of the development cycle (read as undoing the mess we'll eventually create later on). We'd also like collaborating on large scale projects
