设计动态混合矩阵,降低分布式联邦学习中节点能耗。

Time-varying Mixing Matrix Design for Energy-efficient Decentralized Federated Learning

  • 提出分阶段动态混合矩阵设计,优化通信拓扑与能耗预算。
  • 实测验证:在保持快速收敛的同时显著降低单节点峰值能耗。
  • 适合资源受限设备的无线联邦学习场景,尤其关注能效瓶颈。

本文研究无线网络中分布式联邦学习(DFL)的混合矩阵设计问题,旨在最小化单个节点的峰值能耗。作为影响收敛速度与通信需求的关键超参数,现有方法多聚焦于减少通信时延,而忽视了对能量受限设备至关重要的每节点能耗优化。为此,本文基于支持任意时变混合矩阵的新收敛定理,提出一种多阶段设计框架:通过在优化预算下激活动态通信拓扑,在每轮能耗与收敛速度之间权衡,并均衡各节点间能耗分布。基于真实数据的评估表明,该方案成功结合了稀疏混合矩阵的低能耗优势与密集混合矩阵的快速收敛特性,显著降低最大单节点能耗。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We consider the design of mixing matrices to minimize the operation cost for decentralized federated learning (DFL) in wireless networks, with focus on minimizing the maximum per-node energy consumption. As a critical hyperparameter for DFL, the mixing matrix controls both the convergence rate and the needs of agent-to-agent communications, and has thus been studied extensively. However, existing designs mostly focused on minimizing the communication time, leaving open the minimization of per-node energy consumption that is critical for energy-constrained devices. This work addresses this gap through a theoretically-justified solution for mixing matrix design that aims at minimizing the maximum per-node energy consumption until convergence, while taking into account the broadcast nature of wireless communications. Based on a novel convergence theorem that allows arbitrarily time-varying mixing matrices, we propose a multi-phase design framework that activates time-varying communication topologies under optimized budgets to trade off the per-iteration energy consumption and the convergence rate while balancing the energy consumption across nodes. Our evaluations based on real data have validated the efficacy of the proposed solution in combining the low energy consumption of sparse mixing matrices and the fast convergence of dense mixing matrices.
