The local parties consist of a single desktop computer that acts both as the server and four separate clients. This configuration mimics a decentralized environment where the desktop computer takes on the roles of multiple participants, simulating the interactions and data contributions of distinct entities. As the server, it coordinates and manages the FL process, while functioning as an individual client allows it to provide diverse data contributions for training. This localized approach allowed for the use of Docker as the development environment, leveraging the power of a desktop computer assembled with an RTX 3080ti GPU to enhance performance. The power given by the NVidia GPU, allowed the use of a more complex model and the simulation of four clients on the same machine that acts also as the server. Being self-contained in a single host, the local environment is convenient for testing, especially when the focus is on the functional verification.
