An OpenCL Framework for Fuzzy Associative Classification and its Application to Disease Prediction.

Recently, the broad availability of online and soft real-time data has been attracting corporations and researchers towards data analytics. Though newer and faster algorithms are developed, as the available dataset sizes increase exponentially, computational processing has been falling behind. The trend on computational resources is mostly towards multiple cores and parallel processing, while the CPU clock speed improvements are slowing down. An important computational resource is the Graphics Processing Unit with multiple-cores, surpassing 2,000 processing elements in one processing unit and operating at almost 5 teraflops capability, such as the recently introduced GeForce GTX Titan.
