How can the expensive data transfer costs be reduced in parallel computing with Matlab?

edit

There are several ways to reduce expensive data transfer costs in parallel computing with Matlab:

1. Use distributed arrays instead of regular arrays: Distributed arrays partition data across multiple workers, reducing the amount of data that needs to be transferred between workers.

2. Use parallel file I/O operations: Parallel file I/O operations can distribute file read and write operations across multiple workers, reducing the amount of data transfer.

3. Use efficient communication algorithms: Efficient communication algorithms such as Message Passing Interface (MPI) can reduce the amount of data transfer by optimizing communication between workers.

4. Reduce data size: Minimizing the amount of data that needs to be transferred can be achieved by reducing the size of the data or by selectively transferring only necessary portions of the data.

5. Use appropriate hardware: Using high-speed networking hardware, such as InfiniBand, can significantly reduce data transfer costs. Additionally, selecting processors with larger caches and memory can reduce the need for data transfer.
