BytesAndBrains: A Substrate for Networked Machine Learning
The substrate for composing federated learning, gossip learning, peer-to-peer inference, and split inference on the same runtime does not exist in the open ecosystem. This paper describes one that does. The framework authorizes computation as a partitionable graph, owns the bytes between nodes, and treats every distributed strategy as a placement and binding problem on the same surface.
