By way of background, I'm a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard developing novel neural network architectures and training methods primarily for computational medical imaging.

Deep Brain Chain aims to distribute neural network training over computers worldwide. However, one the biggest problems in distributing training, whether over multiple GPUs or multiple computers, is communication bandwidth. Even when training is done on a single machine (let's call this Distribution Level 0), data needs to be transferred between the CPU to the GPUs to transfer training data and iterative gradient updates. If your model is reasonably big (for example, I regularly work with ~10GB models), that communication is happening after each training batch and is often the main bottleneck for training time. PCIe 3.0 x16 supports ~16 GB/s max transfer rates which means I'm waiting about one second each iteration JUST for data transfer... this transfer delay is one of the primary reasons why you might hear deep learning models taking days/weeks/months to train. This is such a big problem that NVIDIA has developed a specialized I/O bus called NVLINK (which will improve those speeds 5-10x but is only currently implemented on IBM Power systems).

Parallelizing this training over multiple computers (Distribution Level 1) typically occurs in a local cluster or a cloud system that is intraconnected with 10-100 Gbit/s ethernet (AWS is 25 Gbit, or about 3GB/s). Even though you're adding more computers, this 3-5x speed transfer loss, in addition to algorithmic losses due to imperfect parallelization and asynchronous updating etc (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law)), results in a poorly-scaled system, which is a widely-studied issue in the research community (e.g. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.06870.pdf).). You'll still get gains better than single-machine, but they won't be linear (10 machines doesn't equal 10x compute speed), and it'll be worse the slower your transfer bandwidth is.

>> No.7793149

>>7793111

Going from Distribution Level 1 to Level 2 - distributing this to the masses a la Deep Brain Chain (or some similar system) would further slow down the training to nearly incomprehensible levels, in my estimation. Assuming each computer is equipped with 100 Mbit/s ethernet both upload and download (which is a VERY generous assumption: http://www.speedtest.net/reports/united-states/)), that's still > 100x slower than cluster transfer rates, and >1000x slower than a single machine implementation. Also, with an institutional cluster, the machine hardware (CPU, RAM, etc...) can be controlled to be relatively similar, which makes the training more predictable and thus parallelization more efficient. However, a large set of random computers across the internet would result in potentially wildly inhomogeneous computation speeds with much less predictable collective behavior, introducing further algorithmic slowdowns. In their whitepaper they do note that they're aiming to have some advanced method of load-balancing (which wasn't pointed to solve this problem, just utilizing idle nodes), so perhaps in the future they can limit some of these losses - but even then you're still stuck with the lower bandwidth speeds that would bring training to a crawl.

If you have any thoughts on this, or have seen any (big or small) mistakes here please let me know. For example, there may be training algorithms I'm unaware of that somehow sidestep this (although I'm quite confident that what I've been describing is true for the ubiquitous stochastic gradient descent and their variations, which is like what 99% of what people use for NN training). I don't want to spread misinformation, but I just can't see how they'll get around these big issues. I'm also disheartened that these issues weren't mentioned at all in the white paper, as these are very well-known limitations of distributed training.

>> No.7793166

well one thing I was thinking is that there will be a lot of 'low level' AI out there thanks to IoT applications, so maybe some of these shitty AI tokens are good for companies who need to fill smaller gaps, rather than dedicated centers for AI advancement/research

>>7793149

I hope the DBC team can be as transparent as Ethereum is about the reality of their scaling problems, and be working diligently to solve them. I like the vision of DBC, but real value relies on real execution.

Everything I've described above applies to distributed training, where training a NN model requires multiple computers updating each other on training iteration results. If the scope of their training/network model is small enough and doesn't need computers talking to each other then they might be okay. However, everything in their white paper points to large, enterprise-scale datasets and large complex models.

The CEO responded to my original post via telegram. https://www.reddit.com/r/cryptocurrency/comments/7od7vg/_/ds9ecpy?context=1000 If I understand him correctly, it seems like their distribution strategy is to parallelize the training of one model over different training hyperparameters. So that indeed can be done with current hardware (like he implied, it would only be limited to bigger rigs) and bandwidth limitations. However, it's a letdown because they're not making a true distributed NN training system - parallelizing hyperparameter search is a pretty narrow offering, and is quite far from the vision they seemed to promote in their marketing which is in their own words a "decentralized neural network." This wouldn't be able to provide larger models spanning multiple nodes, or accelerating training by splitting up datasets, which are the typical benefits of distributed training. In all fairness though, searching for optimal hyperparameters is indeed an important factor of training, so there is some value there... Just not as much as it seemed they were marketing.

I'm not ever selling my DBC. You know why? I want it to stand there as a warning in my blockfolio. Like the enemy spiked on a pike that is mounted on the walls, I want to look at it each and every morning.

I want to feel the punch in my gut when I look at my NEO stack breaking through 1000$, and this shit still hovers around 0.01$. I want to kick myself when my LINK stack blows past 100$ to see that this pathetic DBC stack of mine is still in there, flaining around as its slowly dying and withering away. It shall serve as a reminder never to FOMO into stuff you don't know enough about yet, and it should be a grim reminer not to be blinded by optimism and wishful thinking.

I invested in DBC at around $0.10, and I shilled this motherfucking coin like crazy. I shilled it harder than anyone else on this board, even harder than that insufferable tripfag. I created multiple threads, used 4+ unique IPs to shill it day in and day out. I told everyone it would take off after the Hyoubi listing. I got out at about $0.53 and every day I love laughing at the people I tricked to buy at the ATH. I remember how I told them it will easily be over a dollar after getting listed on Hyoubi and $10 by Feb. It makes me feel good inside.

In a distributed system, doesn't it make more sense to have multiple iterations running at the same time? So say you have 10 computers, you could have 5 batching one iteration and the other 5 batching a different one entirely. That way you could scale more effectively. You could chunk computers together by location as well.

Bachelor’s and Master’s in ML here and this is very clearly a scheme for taking advantage of those who don’t know anything about computer science but are drawn by how ‘hot’ terms like deep learning are now.

If you have any kind of background in ML, read the whitepaper. There’s absolutely no details of the kind of neural networks or algorithms they intend to facilitate. The ‘reward function’ is formulated using game theory, maybe just to trick those with some knowledge of economics into thinking it’s legit. The whole thing’s like a schematic of a car with a great big blank space where the engine should be.

They aren't going to reduce computational costs, they're just jumping on the blockchain hype train (which nobody understands) and combining it with ML (which nobody understands).

The comment
>>7795572
is insane. How do you think computers work? Input/output is handled by the operating system. The operating system runs on the CPU. If instructions are to be sent to the GPU (or any piece of hardware), they by necessity have to come from the CPU.

Folding@home from Stanford works because people are donating their computing power. The inefficiency of distributed computing is unimportant because cost is not a factor. If people sold their computing power instead, it would be far more cost-efficient for Stanford just to buy more computing clusters.

It’s really fucking hard to admit when a coin you own is shit. I’ll admit to having invested in both XRP and TRX and going through the slow realisation that I was wrong.

I am not an AI fag but God damn OP, read what dbc is trying to do. It's pretty clearly explained. A decentralized neural network. Many small businesses do not have money to buy expensive GPU, and many companies have GPU sitting idle. So on the Blockchain these GPUs can provide computational requirements for smaller business. And these companies can also keep their GPUs. Sounds like they redistributing the AI computing requirements/machines to users specified needs and requirements.

Harvard faggot can't read. Smd.

>>7793111
The large-scale data parallel training problem, however, is not what the deep brain chain intends to solve. To say, it is not for the same user to do the remote distributed computing where the speed is reduced significantly. The first and foremost the deep brain chain tackles with is to reduce the high-performance machine computing power costs and data privacy. In other words, how to lower the cost of neural network training and neural network computing. When an AI product has a large number of users it needs a lot of high-performance machines to meet the computing requirements, deep brain chain can execute distributed computing based on the user's specific circumstances and it is for different users. The DBC project is for global AI computing resource sharing and resource scheduling because many small businesses do not have the money to buy expensive GPU servers but many companies have a large number of GPU servers which are idle. Scheduling global resources and increasing the utilization efficiency of resources are of the positive significance. We also consider optimizing the distributed AI calculation engine and working with the underlying neural network chip makers.

That's your explanation? Thanks bud.

You do realize that people with these "idle GPUs" are either

1) unaware they could be mining
2) found that mining was no longer profitable

DBC would need to compete with all the other coins for computational power.

The real issue here is that you seem to think

>A decentralized neural network

can be isolated from the training algorithm. You can't just "use" the idle GPU's of the world all at once for massive massive massive data sets.

You don't seem to realize that massive data sets are heavy. You can't just "mindlessly" POW. You've got to iterate through massive data sets.

This makes sense. At the same time, deploying an Amazon cloud instance (or even a Vultr instance) takes a few seconds and is incredibly cheap. Sure, it doesn't come pre-built with the neural net and data, but neither does some random dude's retired eth mining rig.
