Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing computational graphs on distributed computing devices. One of the methods includes receiving a request to execute a processing pipeline (i) first operations that transform raw inputs into pre-processed inputs and (ii) second operations that operate on the pre-processed inputs; and in response: assigning the first operations to two or more of a plurality of computing devices, assigning the second operations to one or more hardware accelerators of a plurality of hardware accelerators, wherein each hardware accelerator is interconnected with the plurality of computing devices, and configured to (i) receive inputs from respective queues of the two or more computing devices assigned the first operations and (ii) perform the second operations on the received pre-processed inputs, and executing, in parallel, the processing pipeline on the two or more computing devices and the one or more hardware accelerators.
