AU - Akay, Bahriye TI - A Survey and Systematic Categorization of Parallel K-Means and Fuzzy-C-Means Algorithms T2 - Computer Systems Science and Engineering PY - 2019 VL - 34 IS - 5 SN - AB - Parallel processing has turned into one of the emerging fields of machine learning due to providing consistent work by performing several tasks simultaneously, enhancing reliability (the presence of more than one device ensures the workflow even if some devices disrupted), saving processing time and introducing low cost and high-performance computation units. This research study presents a survey of parallel K-means and Fuzzy-c-means clustering algorithms based on their implementations in parallel environments such as Hadoop, MapReduce, Graphical Processing Units, and multi-core systems. Additionally, the enhancement in parallel clustering algorithms is investigated as hybrid approaches in which K-means and Fuzzy-c-means clustering algorithms are integrated with metaheuristic and other traditional algorithms.
