  1. [SenSys'24] FDLoRa: Tackling Downlink-Uplink Asymmetry with Full-duplex LoRa Gateways, Chenkai
    Abstract: Unlike traditional data collection applications (e.g., environment monitoring) that are dominated by uplink transmissions, the newly emerging applications (e.g., device actuation, firmware update, packet reception acknowledgement) also pose ever-increasing demands on downlink transmission capabilities. However, current LoRaWAN falls short in supporting such applications primarily due to downlink-uplink asymmetry. While the uplink can concurrently receive multiple packets, downlink transmission is limited to a single logical channel at a time, which fundamentally hinders the deployment of downlink-hungry applications. To tackle this practical challenge, FDLoRa develops the first-of-its-kind in-band full-duplex LoRa gateway design with novel solutions to mitigate the impact of self-interference (i.e., strong downlink interference to ultra-weak uplink reception), which unleashes the full spectrum for in-band downlink transmissions without compromising the reception of weak uplink packets. Built upon the full-duplex gateways, FDLoRa introduces a new downlink framework to support concurrent downlink transmissions over multiple logical channels of available gateways. Evaluation results demonstrate that FDLoRa boosts downlink capacity by 5.7x compared to LoRaWAN on a three-gateway testbed and achieves 2.58x higher downlink concurrency per gateway than the state-of-the-art.
  2. [IDEA] ReDream: Residual Feature-Driven Mixed Sparse Coding for Model Partitioning, Xianyang
    Abstract: Deploying deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for edge-based video analytics poses significant challenges due to the intensive computing demands. Model partitioning has emerged as a promising solution by offloading segments of CNNs to multiple proximal edge devices for collaborative inference. However, this approach often incurs substantial cross-device transmission overhead, particularly in handling intermediate feature maps. To address these limitations, we propose ReDream (REsidual feature-DRivEn mixed spArse coding for Model partitioning), a novel edge-centric video analytics framework that jointly optimizes transmission efficiency and inference accuracy. ReDream introduces two key innovations: 1) It enhances the sparsity of intermediate features by replacing activation functions with ReLU in selected CNN layers and retraining, thereby increasing the proportion of zero-valued elements. 2) It leverages the heterogeneous distribution of feature data across layers by applying a mixed sparse coding scheme, i.e., selecting different compression methods adaptively to optimize model partitioning. These optimizations enable ReDream to support more efficient cross-device inference while maintaining high model accuracy, making it well-suited for real-time deployment in collaborative edge environments.

History

|abstract =The rapid expansion of large language models (LLMs) requires the development of extensive GPU clusters, with companies deploying clusters with tens to hundreds of thousands of GPUs. This growth significantly expands the design space for LLM training systems, requiring thorough exploration of different parallelization strategies, communication parameters, congestion control, fabric topology, etc. Current methods require up to 10k simulation experiments to identify optimal configurations, with inadequate exploration leading to significant degradation of training performance. In this paper, we tackle the overlooked problem of efficiently conducting parallel simulation experiments for design space exploration. Our
