Abstract-Machine learning algorithms are frequently applied in data mining applications. Many of the tasks in this domain concern high-dimensional data. Consequently, these tasks are often complex and computationally expensive. This paper presents a GPU-based parallel implementation of the Random Forests algorithm. In contrast to previous work, the proposed algorithm is based on the compute unified device architecture (CUDA). An experimental comparison between the CUDA-based algorithm (CudaRF), and state-of-the-art Random Forests algorithms (FastRF and LibRF) shows that CudaRF outperforms both FastRF and LibRF for the studied classification task.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
