Abstract
Parallel computing is very important in providing the computing speed and scalability needed for large scale data mining applications. In order to achieve a good performance, a good scheduling of parallel tasks is very important. This paper proposes and evaluates various scheduling strategies for parallel FI-growth data mining. We show that the execution time of parallel data mining on multicore cluster systems depends on a task scheduling strategy used. Using simulation, we compare 9 strategies on 8 to 64 core multicore cluster systems. The results show that selecting the right strategy can substantially reduce the execution time of parallel data mining on multicore cluster systems.
