Frequent itemset mining on graphics

• Introduction– Two representative algorithms: Apriori and FP-growth;

• FP-growth were generally faster than Apriori;• Apriori-borgelt was slightly faster when the support was high;

– No prior work focuses on studying the GPU acceleration for FIM algorithms.

– Challenge: the data structure is not aligned and access patterns are not regular (pointer-chasing).

– The parallel primitives [19] are a small set of common operations exploiting the architectural features of GPUs. We utilize map, reduce, and prefix sum primitives in our two FIM implementations.

– Improvement - Memory optimizations: • Local memory optimization for temporal locality• Coalesced access optimization of device memory for spatial locality• The built-in vector data type to reduce the number of memory access.

– Difference• we study the GPU acceleration of Apriori for FIM, which incurs much more

complex control fows and memory accesses than performing database joins or maintaining quantiles from data streams.

• Implementation-PBIGiven m frequent (K ¡1)-itemsets, and n items. In order to check whether one (K ¡ 1)-itemset is frequent, we need to access (logm*(n/128)*16) bytes of data, where logm is the cost of performing a binary search, and (n/128)*16 is the size of a row (in bytes) in the bitmap of (K¡1)-itemsets. Typically, if m = 10000 and n = 10000, we need to access about 16 KB for checking only one (K ¡ 1)-subset. This problem in our pure bitmap- based solution triggers us to consider adopting another data structure in the Candidate Generation procedure in the presence of a large number of items.

• Implementation-Trie based ImplemetationThe candidate generation based on trie traversal is implemented on the CPU. This decision is based on the fact that, the trie is an irregular structure and difficult to share among SIMD threads. Thus, we store the trie representing itemsets in the CPU memory, and the bitmap representation of transactions in the GPU device memory.
