The BigDL framework scales deep learning for large datasets using Apache Spark. However there is significant scheduling overhead from Spark when running BigDL at large scale. Shivaram Venkataraman and Sergey Ermolin outline a new parameter manager implementation that along with coarse-grained scheduling can provide significant speedups for deep learning models like Inception and VGG.
