Data Mining for High Performance Computing

Data Mining as the Evolution of Information Technology

Data mining can be used to integrate, manage, analyze and predict information. With the development of World Wide Web, data storage devices, and data collecting machines, a vast amount of information are collected each day from business, science, medicine and almost every aspect of daily life. The fast-growing, tremendous amount of data, collected and stored in large and numerous data repositories, has far exceeded our human ability for comprehension without powerful tools. We need to understand data, use data to help make decisions, find interesting knowledge from data and so on. Data mining is the process of discovering interesting patterns and knowledge from large amounts of data. However, the process of knowledge discovery includes several steps, such as data cleaning, data integration, data selection, data transformation, data mining, pattern evaluation, and knowledge presentation.
