Abstract

We present the Distributed Executor for RSES (DIXER) which is a
supplementary software for the Rough Set Exploration System (RSES). It
takes an advantage of grid computing paradigm and allows to shorten the
time necessary for experiments by employing all available workstations
to run a scenario of experiments. DIXER software includes most important
rough set classification algorithms from RSES and also other algorithms
for distributed machine learning. It creates an easy to operate and
utilize platform for grid computations and provides a robust and fault
tolerant environment for computation-heavy experiments. We provide also
experimental evaluation of DIXER that proves at least 96% efficiency in
parallelization.
