DESCRIPTION PiSvM is a parallel Support Vector Machine (SVM) implementation. It supports C-SVC, nu-SVC, epsilon-SVR and nu-SVR and has a command-line interface similar to the popular LibSVM package. This is a fork of pisvm-1.2 found at http://pisvm.sourceforge.net/ that aims to increase scalability. DOCUMENTATION Documentation on how to use the PiSvM software as well as performance results are given on the web under: http://pisvm.sourceforge.net/ Since the command line interface is almost identical to LibSVM, for general usage instructions concerning SVM training visit: http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/ COPYRIGHT/LICENSE The parallel SMO solver and command line interface is based on LibSVM code. Therefore the conditions given in COPYRIGHT-LibSVM apply to the parts of the LibSVM code, that is svm.h, svm.cpp, pisvm-train.c pisvm-predict.c and pisvm-scale.c. All of the pisvm-*.c files contain changes made to enable parallel training.
