Abstract

Internet distributed supercomputers generate supercomputation at a fraction of the cost of traditional supercomputers. As a result, it becomes relatively inexpensive to conduct extremely deep data mining using this solution. The problem is that such deep data mining is virtually guaranteed to generate many spurious results. The purpose of this grant is to develop methods for distinguish spurious results from 'true' results when the results are generated via deep data mining on an Internet distributed supercomputer.
