Abstract

See full text

A method and system for generating a decision-tree classifier in parallel in a shared-memory multiprocessor system is disclosed. The processors first generate in the shared memory an attribute list for each record attribute. Each attribute list is assigned to a processor. The processors independently determine the best splits for their respective assigned lists, and cooperatively determine a global best split for all attribute lists. The attribute lists are reassigned to the processors and split according to the global best split into the lists for child nodes. The split attribute lists are again assigned to the processors and the process is repeated for each new child node until each attribute list for the new child nodes includes only tuples of the same record class or a fixed number of tuples.
