Coded computing is a novel computing paradigm that utilizes coding theory to effectively inject and leverage data/computation redundancy to mitigate several fundamental bottlenecks in large-scale distributed computing, namely communication bandwidth, straggler’s (i.e., slow or failing nodes) delay, privacy and security bottlenecks. This tutorial/panel provides a brief overview of coded computing, highlights several exciting recent/future research directions in this area, and ends with Q&A with participants/panelists on coded computing.
