Parallel Processing for Data Mining and Data Analysis Applications

摘要

This study emphasize on how parallelism can be applied in data analysis. In recent decades where the large amount of data is produced by machines: software logs, cameras, microphones, RFIDs, etc. Creation speed rate of these data will increase exponentially with Moore?s Law. Saving or storing such amount of data is inexpensive and using some parallel processing methods, the data can also be investigated and mined effectively. So, this study intends to debate about parallel programming procedures used in data analysis and data mining. The key motive for this parallelism is to make analysis more rapidly. This is generally attained by using multiple processors or multiple computers, execution dissimilar aspects of data analysis or mining, performing the tasks alongside and later consolidating the data into a single report.
