Distributed GPU-Based K-Means Algorithm for Data-Intensive Applications: Large-Sized Image Segmentation Case
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
K-means is a compute-intensive iterative algorithm. Its use in a complex scenario is cumbersome, specifically in data-intensive applications. In order to accelerate the K-means running time for data-intensive application, such as large sized image segmentation, we use a distributed multi-agent system accelerated by GPUs. In this K-means version, the input image data are divided into subsets of image data which can be performed independently on GPUs. In each GPU, we offloaded the data assignment and the K-centroids recalculation steps of the K-means algorithm for a massively parallel processing. We have implemented this K-means version on the Nvidia GPU with Compute Unified Device Architecture. The distributed multi-agent system was written with Java Agent Development framework.
