MediSwarm

Introduction

MediSwarm is an open-source project dedicated to advancing medical deep learning through swarm intelligence, leveraging the NVFlare platform. Developed in collaboration with the Odelia consortium, this repository aims to create a decentralized and collaborative framework for medical research and applications.

Key Features

  • Swarm Learning: Utilizes swarm intelligence principles to improve model performance and adaptability.
  • NVFlare Integration: Built on NVFlare, providing robust and scalable federated learning capabilities.
  • Data Privacy: Ensures data security and compliance with privacy regulations by keeping data local to each institution.
  • Collaborative Research: Facilitates collaboration among medical researchers and institutions for enhanced outcomes.
  • Extensible Framework: Designed to support various medical applications and easily integrate with existing workflows.

Prerequisites

Hardware recommendations

  • 64 GB of RAM (32 GB is the absolute minimum)
  • 16 CPU cores (8 is the absolute minimum)
  • an NVIDIA GPU with 48 GB of RAM (24 GB is the minimum)
  • 8 TB of Storage (4 TB is the absolute minimum)

We demonstrate that the system can run on lightweight hardware like this. For less than 10k EUR, you can configure systems from suppliers like Lambda, Dell Precision, and Dell Alienware.

Operating System

  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Usage for Developers

Setup

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/KatherLab/MediSwarm.git
cd MediSwarm

Running the Application

  1. Run the minimal CIFAR-10 example: See cifar10/README.md

  2. Run the 3D CNN for classifying breast tumors: See 3dcnn_ptl/README.md
