PS2: Parameter Server on Spark
Summary: PS2 deploys a parameter server on Spark, preserving Spark for data processing while offloading models, without hacking Spark core. DCV enables locality-aware, element-wise multi-vector ops, delivering up to 55.6x Spark MLlib and 3.7x Petuum. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
