Survey of Parallel Association Rule Mining

Due to the huge size of data and amount of computation involved in data mining, high-performance computing is an essential component for any successful large-scale data mining application. This paper provides a survey of the study in parallel association rule generation, reviews and analyses some typical algorithms, views the trend of parallel association rule mining based on the kind of parallelism exploited, the load balancing strategy used, and the integration with databases. The goal of this paper is to serve as a reference for both researchers and practitioners interested in the state-of-the-art in parallel association rule mining.
