Abstract

In this paper we describe a new hybrid distributed/shared memory parallel software for support vector machine learning on large data sets. The support vector machine (SVM) method is a well-known and reliable machine learning technique for classification and regression tasks. Based on a recently developed shared memory decomposition algorithm for support vector machine classifier design we increased the level of parallelism by implementing a cross validation routine based on message passing. With this extention we obtained a flexible parallel SVM software that can be used on high-end machines with SMP architectures to process the large data sets that arise more and more in bioinformatics and other fields of research.
