This paper presents a parallel algorithm for computing fixpoints of Galois connections induced by object-attribute relational data. The algorithm results as a parallelization of CbO (Kuznetsov 1999) in which we process disjoint sets of fixpoints simultaneously. One of the distinctive features of the algorithm compared to other parallel algorithms is that it avoids synchronization which has positive impacts on its speed and implementation. We describe the parallel algorithm, prove its correctness, and analyze its asymptotic complexity. Furthermore, we focus on implementation issues, scalability of the algorithm, and provide an evaluation of its efficiency on various data sets.
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.
