# RTX Federated - Advanced Federated Learning Platform
RTX Federated is a comprehensive federated learning platform built for the RTX ecosystem, providing state-of-the-art algorithms, privacy-preserving mechanisms, and production-grade infrastructure for distributed machine learning.
## 🚀 Key Features
### Advanced Aggregation Algorithms
- **FedAvg**: Federated Averaging with momentum and adaptive learning rates
- **FedProx**: Proximal federated optimization for heterogeneous networks
- **SCAFFOLD**: Variance reduction with control variates for client drift correction
- **FedNova**: Normalized averaging optimized for non-IID data distributions
- **Asynchronous Aggregation**: Support for dynamic client participation patterns
### Privacy-Preserving Mechanisms
- **Differential Privacy**: Gaussian and Laplace noise mechanisms with composition tracking
- **Local Differential Privacy**: Client-side privacy guarantees with multiple randomization mechanisms
- **Secure Multi-Party Computation**: Privacy-preserving aggregation protocols
- **Homomorphic Encryption**: Computation on encrypted gradients and parameters
- **Privacy Accounting**: Comprehensive epsilon-delta budget management
### Byzantine-Robust Aggregation
- **Krum/Multi-Krum**: Geometric median-based Byzantine fault tolerance
- **Trimmed Mean**: Statistical robust aggregation with coordinate-wise trimming
- **Anomaly Detection**: Real-time detection of malicious updates and clients
- **Reputation Systems**: Trust-based client weighting and selection
### Production Infrastructure
- **Client Management**: Dynamic registration, lifecycle management, and health monitoring
- **Communication Optimization**: Gradient compression, quantization, and efficient protocols
- **Fault Tolerance**: Automatic recovery, checkpointing, and graceful degradation
- **Resource Scheduling**: Intelligent client selection based on computational resources
- **Monitoring & Analytics**: Real-time performance tracking and alerting
## 📖 Quick Start
Add RTX Federated to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
rtx-federated = "0.1.0"
```
### Basic Federated Learning
```rust
use rtx_federated::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Configure federated learning system
let config = FederatedConfig::new()
.with_aggregation(AggregationConfig::FedAvg {
momentum: Some(0.9),
adaptive_learning_rate: true,
})
.with_byzantine_tolerance(true);
// Initialize federated system
let mut fed_system = FederatedSystem::new(config).await?;
// Register clients
for i in 0..10 {
let client = Client::new(format!("client_{}", i)).await?;
fed_system.register_client(client).await?;
}
// Run federated learning rounds
for round in 1..=50 {
let metrics = fed_system.run_round().await?;
println!("Round {}: accuracy = {:.4}", round, metrics.average_accuracy);
}
Ok(())
}
```
### Privacy-Preserving Federated Learning
```rust
use rtx_federated::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Configure with differential privacy
let mut config = FederatedConfig::new();
config.privacy = Some(PrivacyConfig::DifferentialPrivacy {
epsilon: 1.0, // Privacy parameter
delta: 1e-5, // Privacy parameter
noise_mechanism: NoiseMechanism::Gaussian { sigma: 1.0 },
clipping_threshold: 1.0,
});
let mut fed_system = FederatedSystem::new(config).await?;
// Register privacy-conscious clients
for i in 0..20 {
let mut client = Client::new(format!("private_client_{}", i)).await?;
client.data_profile.privacy_level = PrivacyLevel::Confidential;
fed_system.register_client(client).await?;
}
// Run privacy-preserving federated learning
for round in 1..=30 {
let metrics = fed_system.run_round().await?;
println!("Private Round {}: accuracy = {:.4}, privacy_budget = {:.4}",
round, metrics.average_accuracy, metrics.privacy_budget_consumed);
}
Ok(())
}
```
### Byzantine-Robust Federated Learning
```rust
use rtx_federated::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Use Krum for Byzantine fault tolerance
let krum = byzantine::Krum::new(2.0).await?;
// Filter malicious updates
let filtered_updates = krum.filter_updates(&model_updates).await?;
// Detect malicious clients
let malicious_clients = krum.detect_malicious_clients(&model_updates).await?;
println!("Detected {} malicious clients", malicious_clients.len());
Ok(())
}
```
## 🎮 Simulation Environment
RTX Federated includes a comprehensive simulation environment for research and evaluation:
```rust
use rtx_federated::simulation::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
let sim_config = SimulationConfig {
num_clients: 100,
num_rounds: 50,
participation_rate: 0.3,
data_distribution: DataDistribution::NonIID { heterogeneity_level: 0.4 },
environment: SimulationEnvironment {
byzantine_clients: true,
byzantine_fraction: 0.1,
network_conditions: NetworkConditions {
bandwidth_mean: 10.0,
bandwidth_std: 5.0,
latency_mean: 50.0,
latency_std: 20.0,
packet_loss_rate: 0.01,
},
system_heterogeneity: SystemHeterogeneity {
compute_heterogeneity: 0.3,
memory_heterogeneity: 0.4,
mobile_fraction: 0.6,
},
},
};
let fed_config = FederatedConfig::new();
let mut simulation = FederatedSimulation::new(sim_config, fed_config).await?;
let results = simulation.run_simulation().await?;
println!("Final accuracy: {:.4}", results.final_accuracy);
println!("Convergence round: {:?}", results.convergence_round);
Ok(())
}
```
