Federated learning (FL) projects often begin with a straightforward setup: one server, a few clients, and one dataset at each site. As those projects grow, the... Federated learning (FL) projects often begin with a straightforward setup: one server, a few clients, and one dataset at each site. As those projects grow, the challenge shifts from running an algorithm to operating shared infrastructure. GPUs must be allocated when jobs need them, multiple research studies must remain separated, and e
