Scalable and Efficient Analysis of Large High-Dimensional Data Sets in the Context of Recurrence Analysis

T. Rawald

Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) is a method from nonlinear time series analysis. It relies on the identification of line structures within so-called recurrence matrices and comprises a set of scalar measures. Existing computing approaches to RQA are either not capable of processing recurrence matrices exceeding a certain size or suffer from long runtimes considering time series that contain hundreds of thousands of data points. This thesis introduces scalable recurrence analysis (SRA), which is an alternative computing approach that subdivides a recurrence matrix into multiple sub matrices. Each sub matrix is processed individually in a massively parallel manner by a single compute device. This is implemented exemplarily using the OpenCL framework. It is shown that this approach delivers considerable performance improvements in comparison to state-of-the-art RQA software by exploiting the computing capabilities of many-core hardware architectures, in particular graphics cards. The usage of OpenCL allows to execute identical SRA implementations on a variety of hardware platforms having different architectural properties. An extensive evaluation analyses the impact of applying concepts from database technology, such memory storage layouts, to the RQA processing pipeline. It is investigated how different realisations of these concepts affect the performance of the computations on different types of compute devices. Finally, an approach based on automatic performance tuning is introduced that automatically selects well-performing RQA implementations for a given analytical scenario on specific computing hardware. Among others, it is demonstrated that the customised auto-tuning approach allows to considerably increase the efficiency of the processing by adapting the implementation selection.
