Portable, Scalable and Reliable Distributed Machine Learning, support various platforms including Hadoop YARN, MPI, etc.

Portable, scalable and reliable distributed machine learning.

Wormhole is a place where DMLC projects works together to provide scalable and reliable machine learning toolkits that can run on various platforms

Features

• Portable:
  • Supported platforms: local machine, Apache YARN, MPI and Sungrid Engine
• Rich support of Data Source
  • All projects can read data from HDFS, S3 or local filesystem
• Scalable and Reliable

List of Tools

• Boosted Trees (GBDT): XGBoost: eXtreme Gradient Boosting
• Clustering: kmeans
• Linear method: Asynchrouns SGD L-BFGS
• Factorization Machine: DiFacto

Build & Run

• Requires a C++11 compiler (e.g.~g++ >=4.8) and git. Install them on Ubuntu

  = 13.10

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git

• Type make to build all deps and tools

• All tools can run both in a laptop and in a cluster. For example, train logisitic regression using 2 workers and one servers in local machine

tracker/dmlc_local.py -n 2 -s 1 bin/linear.dmlc learn/linear/guide/demo.conf

• More tutorials and documents

If you are having issues, please let us know.

Contribute

• We are actively building new tools. The source codes of all tools are available under learn/.
• Wormhole depends on other DMLC projects, which are also under active developing
  • dmlc-core provides I/O modules and job trackers
  • rabit provides reliable BSP Allreduce communication.
  • ps-lite provides the asynchronous key-value push and pull for the parameter server framework.
