Performance Scalability of Data-Mining Workloads in Bioinformatics, from Intel – White Papers, Webcasts, and Case Studies – ITPapers

Data mining is the extraction of hidden predictive information from large data bases. Emerging data mining applications are important factors to drive the architecture of future microprocessors. This paper analyzes the performance scalability on parallel architectures of such applications to understand how to best architect the next generation of microprocessors that will have many CPU cores on chip.
