----------------------------------

Hi [~mengxr] and [~yanboliang], 

For the log-linear model for censored survival data, I believe the most 
commonly used and easy to parallel methods are based on the exponential/Weibull 
distribution of the survival time. The algorithm is to optimize the log 
likelihood. So I think we could start with stochastic gradient descend for 
large scale data. Can I chime in and contribute for this jira as well?
