  We propose a coded distributed computing scheme based on Raptor codes to
address the straggler problem. In particular, we consider a scheme where each
server computes intermediate values, referred to as droplets, that are either
stored locally or sent over the network. Once enough droplets are collected,
the computation can be completed. Compared to previous schemes in the
literature, our proposed scheme achieves lower computational delay when the
decoding time is taken into account.
