Abstract
Provided is a high-performance implementation of the k-means clustering algorithm on a graphics processing unit (GPU), which leverages a set of GPU kernels with complimentary strengths for datasets of various dimensions and for different numbers of clusters. The concepts of non-dominated GPU kernels and efficient strategies to select high-throughput kernels that match the arguments of the clustering problem with the underlying GPU hardware for maximum speedup are provided.
