name : Noam Klainer Seminar subject: Estimating Expected Costs of DNA Synthesis Under Homopolymer Constraints Seminar Summary: My research focuses on estimating the expected costs associated with DNA synthesis under homopolymer constraints, which are of practical significance in the field of DNA-based data storage. The project is based on probabilistic modeling and draws on concepts from information theory to derive quantitative insights into constrained sequence generation and its associated costs. I am studying Ms.c on Electrical and Computer Engineering Supervisor: Dr Ohad Elishko.

In such contexts, tensor parallelism (TP) is widely employed to distribute computations across multiple accelerators. However, since TP mandates frequent and high-volume communication between devices, the underlying network characteristics significantly influence performance. Previous work was mostly either model-agnostic or topology-agnostic and did not pick provably optimal configurations. This study presents Topology-Tailored Tensor Parallelism, T3P, an efficient algorithm that identifies the communication-optimal TP sharding configuration (within the considered search space) based on both the model architecture and the network topology. In particular, we show that T3P is optimal for any given resharding cost model.”
