Abstract
The increasing deployment of parallel and distributed intelligent systems has intensified the need for privacy-preserving learning frameworks that can exploit multi-core and GPU-based architectures without centralizing sensitive data. This work proposes a parallel Adaptive Federated Learning (AFL) framework that integrates Differential Privacy and Secure Aggregation over heterogeneous multi-core and GPU platforms to enhance both data confidentiality and convergence efficiency. The framework dynamically adjusts client participation, learning rates, and aggregation weights across parallel clients to mitigate non-IID data effects and communication bottlenecks in large-scale interconnection environments. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets, including CIFAR-10 and MNIST, demonstrate that the proposed parallel AFL configuration with Differential Privacy and Secure Aggregation achieves near-centralized accuracy while reducing convergence rounds and improving resistance to model inversion and gradient leakage attacks compared with conventional centralized and baseline federated schemes. These results show that coupling adaptive optimization with privacy-preserving mechanisms on multi-core and GPU-accelerated infrastructures offers a practical direction for scalable, secure, and high-performance parallel learning in sensitive domains.
