Abstract

In this work we show the research track and the current results about the application of structured parallel programming tools to develop scalable data-mining applications. We discuss the exploitation of the divide and conquer nature of the well known C4.5 classification algorithm in spite of its in-core memory requirements. The opportunity of applying external memory techniques to manage the data is advocated. Current results of the experiments are reported.
