Accurate prediction of training time in distributed deep learning is crucial for resource allocation, cost estimation, and job scheduling. We observe that the floating-point precision setting is a key determinant of training time, leading to training time variations of ~2.4x over its minimum. However, existing studies on distributed training time prediction rely on static model computation graphs that do not capture precision variations, including mixed precision. According to our experiments, training time prediction without considering precision results in significant prediction errors - reaching up to 147.85% in mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). To address this issue, we propose a precision-aware distributed training time predictor that achieves robust accuracy across diverse precision settings, including mixed precision, with 9.8% MAPE.

Blockchain is increasingly offered as blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) by cloud service providers. However, configuring BaaS appropriately for optimal performance and reliability resorts to try-and-error. A key challenge is that BaaS is often perceived as a ``black-box,'' leading to uncertainties in performance and resource provisioning. Previous studies attempted to address this challenge; however, the impacts of both vertical and horizontal scaling remain elusive. To this end, we present machine learning-based models to predict network reliability and throughput based on scaling configurations. In our evaluation, the models exhibit prediction errors of ~1.9%, which is highly accurate and can be applied in the real-world.

As deep learning models in agentic AI systems grow in scale and complexity, GPU memory requirements increase and often exceed the available GPU memory capacity, so that out-of-memory (OoM) errors occur. It is well known that OoM interrupts the whole training itself and wastes substantial computational resources. Therefore, to prevent OoM, accurate prediction of GPU memory usage is essential. However, previous studies focus only on unimodal architectures and fail to generalize to multimodal models, even though the multimodal models are a common choice in agentic AI systems. To address this limitation, we propose a framework that predicts the peak GPU memory usage by analyzing the model architecture and training behavior of multimodal models. Specifically, the framework decomposes the multimodal model into its constituent layers and applies factorization to estimate the memory usage of each layer. Our evaluation shows that our framework achieves high prediction accuracy of ~8.7% average MAPE.
