INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

Mutex locks have long been used as a mechanism to provide atomicity in shared memory programs. A thread that accesses a shared object in memory is required to first acquire the mutex associated with that object. The lock allows only one thread at a time to hold it, thus ensuring atomicity for an operation on the shared object. To simplify programming, a lock typically protects more than one memory location. This can result in unnecessary serialization on...

Abstract

Dimensionality reduction provides a compact representation of an original high-dimensional data, which means the reduced data is free from any further processing and only the vital information is retained. For this reason, it is an invaluable preprocessing step before the application of many machine learning algorithms that perform poorly on high-dimensional data. In this thesis, the perceptron classification algorithm – an eager learner - is applied to three two-clas...
