Re: DM: Advice for VLDB

[Charlie Berger]

Zhiwei,

Thinking Machine's Darwin data mining software was originally designed to run on MPP/SMP architectures. Darwin scales linearly and provides parallel support for neural networks, C&RT and k-nearest neighbor data mining techniques. We also run in a Windows client/UNIX server architecture and use MS Excel for displaying results. Check our web site at www.think.com. [Also check it in ~a week, as we are updating it.]

Good luck.

p.s. Please excuse the explicit "sales pitch" (and don't flame me!), but I'm simply answering the question.
