Query: A Robust Asynchronous Newton Method for Massive Scale Computing Systems   Volunteer computing grids offer super-computing levels of computing power at
the relatively low cost of operating a server. In previous work, the authors
have shown that it is possible to take traditionally iterative evolutionary
algorithms and execute them on volunteer computing grids by performing them
asynchronously. The asynchronous implementations dramatically increase
scalability and decrease the time taken to converge to a solution. Iterative
and asynchronous optimization algorithms implemented using MPI on clusters and
supercomputers, and BOINC on volunteer computing grids have been packaged
together in a framework for generic distributed optimization (FGDO). This paper
presents a new extension to FGDO for an asynchronous Newton method (ANM) for
local optimization. ANM is resilient to heterogeneous, faulty and unreliable
computing nodes and is extremely scalable. Preliminary results show that it can
converge to a local optimum significantly faster than conjugate gradient
descent does.
