A New Load Balancing Approach for Parallel FP-Growth

Due to the exponential growth in worldwide information, companies have to deal with an ever growingamount of digital information. So the huge size of data and computation volume of new processingapplications such as data mining, leads to new high performance parallel processing systems. One of themost important challenges of such application is quickly and correctly finding the relationship betweenavailable data. In this paper we target to reach the main goal of parallel processing which is highutilization of processing elements via load balancing and reducing the processing time. To reach anoptimum load balancing algorithm, our proposed approach adopts a heuristic based on the weights offrequent item sets. Different scenarios of proposed method are considered and the processing time ofthose scenarios are obtained by GRIDSIM simulator. Finally, performance metrics of the proposedmethod such as computation time, Hit ratio of data etc… are extracted through simulation results.
