--------------------------------------------------------------------- | FASTCLUSTER: A library for fast, distributed clustering | | | | James Philbin <philbinj@gmail.com> | --------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a python library for performing fast, distributed (using MPI) clustering for very large datasets. Currently we only support k-means. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | INSTALLATION | --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before installation make sure the following dependencies are met: - Linux - CMake >= 2.6.0 - Python >= 2.5 (but < 3.0) - MPI library (OpenMPI is recommended) - Numpy (http://numpy.scipy.org/) - PyTables (http://www.pytables.org/) - fastann library (http://github.com/philbinj/fastann) Build the library to install to /usr/local/ (default is /usr/) > PREFIX=/usr/local/ cmake . && make Install > make install --------------------------------------------------------------------- | USAGE | --------------------------------------------------------------------- See help(fastcluster.kmeans) for usage. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | CHANGELOG | --------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.1 - Initial commit --------------------------------------------------------------------- | REFERENCES | --------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] Philbin, J. and Chum, O. and Isard, M. and Sivic, J. and Zisserman, A.
