Description

Matrix multiplication is, oftentimes, the most expensive computational task in an algorithm. It is the computational bottleneck for training many of the now well-celebrated learning algorithms, for example. To speed up the algorithm, the data can be distributed on many machines to perform the computations in parallel. This sharing of the data, however, raises security concerns when the data is sensitive and has to remain private, such as financial or medical data. Secure distributed matrix multiplication (SDMM) studies how to parallelize matrix multiplication while keeping the data secure.
