Abstract: We describe an asynchronous parallel stochastic coordinate descent algorithm for minimizing smooth unconstrained or separably constrained functions. The method achieves a linear convergence rate on functions that satisfy an essential strong convexity property and a sublinear rate (1/K) on general convex functions. Near-linear speedup on a multicore system can be expected if the number of processors is O(n1/2) in unconstrained optimization and O(n1/4) in the separable-constrained case, where n is the number of variables. We describe results from implementation on 40-core processors.
