The Gopher Orchestra: Distributed Machine Learning with Go
summary
Shows a working Go pipeline that shards data and trains models across nodes using goroutines and channels and demonstrates both Iris (150 rows) and wine datasets plus a Kaggle housing example. Implements pipeline, master‑worker, ring all‑reduce and parameter‑server patterns, uses gRPC for node comms and checkpointing for fault tolerance. Reports concrete results: KNN 94.7% versus decision tree 82–84%, logs epochs with loss decreasing and a runnable demo that prints stage logs and final accuracies.
