Abstract

We present a new distributed association rule mining(D-ARM) algorithm that demonstrates superlinear speedupwith the number of computing nodes. The algorithm isthe first D-ARM algorithm to perform a single scan overthe database. As such, its performance is unmatched byany previous algorithm. Scale-up experiments over standard synthetic benchmarks demonstrate stable run time regardless of the number of computers. Theoretical analysisreveals a tighter bound on error probability than the oneshown in the corresponding sequential algorithm.
