Abstract
We present a novel parallel approach, parallel nearest neigh- bor unit (PNNU), for finding the nearest member in a learned dictionary of high-dimensional features. This is a computation fundamental to machine learning and data analytics algorithms such as sparse coding for feature extraction. PNNU achieves high performance by using three techniques: (1) PNNU employs a novel fast table look up scheme to identify a small number of atoms as candidates from which the nearest neighbor of a query data vector can be found; (2) PNNU reduces computation cost by working with candidate atoms of reduced dimensionality; and (3) PNNU performs computations in parallel over multiple cores with low inter-core communication overheads. Based on e cient computation via techniques (1) and (2), technique (3) attains further speed up via parallel processing. We have implemented PNNU on multi-core ma- chines. We demonstrate its superior performance on three application tasks in signal processing and computer vision. For an action recognition task, PNNU achieves 41x overall performance gains on a 16-core compute server against a conventional serial implementation of nearest neighbor computation. Our PNNU software is available online as open source.
