Dec 1, 2024December 2024: Implemented flexible tensor parameter exchange in federated learning, enabling direct tensor transfer via JIT serialization with bfloat16 support and multi-format compatibility (PyTorch and NumPy). Refactored job configuration and converters for tensors to support new exchange formats. Strengthened robustness by deferring TensorDecomposer imports to active formats and removing an unused 'fobs' import. This work reduces data transfer overhead, increases interoperability, and improves reliability across NVFlare deployments.
