The bag-of-tasks application model, albeit simple, arises in many application domains and has received a lot of attention in the scheduling literature. Previous works propose eithe...
We present parallel algorithms for building decision-tree classifiers on shared-memory multiprocessor (SMP) systems. The proposed algorithms span the gamut of data and task parall...
