Gossip Protocol

Gossip-based protocol where nodes exchange and average model parameters without a central coordinator. Each round, every node picks a random peer, and the pair averages their parameters until all nodes converge to the global average.

CLI Equivalent

N/A

Key Concepts

  • Decentralized parameter averaging without a coordinator
  • Random peer selection and pairwise averaging
  • Convergence measurement via divergence metrics
