AbstractTo mine association rules efficiently, we have developed a new parallel mining algorithm FPM on a distributed share-nothing parallel system in which data are partitioned across the processors. FPM is an enhancement of the FDM algorithm, which we previously proposed for distributed mining of association rules. FPM requires fewer rounds of message exchanges than FDM and, hence, has a better response time in a parallel environment. The algorithm has been experimentally found to outperform CD, a representative parallel algorithm for the same goal. The efficiency of FPM is attributed to the incorporation of two powerful candidate sets pruning techniques: distributed and global prunings. The two techniques are sensitive to two data distribution characteristics, data skewness, and workload balance. Metrics based on entropy are proposed for these two characteristics. The prunings are very effective when both the skewness and balance are high. In order to increase the efficiency of FPM, we have developed methods to partition a database so that the resulting partitions have high balance and skewness. Experiments have shown empirically that our partitioning algorithms can achieve these aims very well, in particular, the results are consistently better than a random partitioning. Moreover, the partitioning algorithms incur little overhead. So, using our partitioning algorithms and FPM together, we can mine association rules from a database efficiently.
