Rahul Mishra · 2023
In the era of Big Data, the computational demands of machine learning (ML) algorithms have grown exponentially, necessitating the development of efficient parallel computing techniques. This research paper delves into the exploration and evaluation of advanced parallel computing methodologies tailored for accelerating ML algorithms when applied to vast datasets. We commence by providing a comprehensive overview of the existing parallelization paradigms, highlighting their strengths and limitations in the context of ML. Subsequently, we introduce novel techniques that harness the combined power of distributed systems, multicore processors, and graphics processing units (GPUs) to achieve significant speed-ups. Experimental results, derived from processing multi-terabyte datasets, demonstrate that our proposed methods can achieve up to a tenfold increase in computational efficiency compared to traditional approaches. Furthermore, we present a detailed analysis of the scalability, fault-tolerance, and resource utilization of our techniques, providing insights for practitioners aiming to deploy ML algorithms on large-scale data infrastructures. This work not only paves the way for faster ML computations but also offers a blueprint for the next generation of scalable, parallel ML systems.
