Static application security testing (SAST) tools have found broad adoption in modern software development workflows. These tools employ a variety of static analysis rules to generate recommendations on how to improve the code of an application. Every recommendation consumes the time of the engineer that is investigating it, so it is important to measure how useful these rules are in the long term. But what

As deep learning models nowadays are widely adopted by both cloud services and edge devices, reducing the latency of deep learning model inferences becomes crucial to provide efficient model serving. However, it is challenging to develop efficient tensor programs for deep learning operators due to the high complexity of modern accelerators (e.g., NVIDIA GPUs and Google TPUs) and the rapidly growing number

Existing general purpose frameworks for gigantic model training, i.e., dense models with billions of parameters, cannot scale efficiently on cloud environment with various networking conditions due to large communication overheads. In this paper, we propose MiCS, which Minimizes the Communication Scale to bring down communication overhead. Specifically, by decreasing the number of participants in a communication

With an ever-increasing number of smart edge devices with computation and communication constraints, Federated Learning (FL) is a promising paradigm for learning from distributed devices and their data. Typical approaches to FL aim to learn a single model that simultaneously performs well for all clients. But such an approach may be ineffective when the clients’ data distributions are heterogeneous. In

Privacy-preserving federated learning (PPFL) is a paradigm of distributed privacy-preserving machine learning training in which a set of clients, each holding siloed training data, jointly compute a shared global model under the orchestration of an aggregation server. The system has the property that no party learns any information about any client’s training data, besides what could be inferred from the
