DESCRIPTIONPiSvM is a parallel Support Vector Machine (SVM) implementation. It supports C-SVC, nu-SVC, epsilon-SVR and nu-SVR and has a command-line interface similar to the popular LibSVM package.DOCUMENTATIONDocumentation on how to use the PiSvM software as well asperformance results are given on the web under:http://pisvm.sourceforge.net/Since the command line interface is almost identical to LibSVM,for general usage instructions concerning SVM training visit:http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvm/COPYRIGHT/LICENSEThe parallel SMO solver and command line interface is basedon LibSVM code. Therefore the conditions given in COPYRIGHT-LibSVMapply to the parts of the LibSVM code, that is svm.h, svm.cpp, pisvm-train.c pisvm-predict.c and pisvm-scale.c. All of thepisvm-*.c files contain changes made to enable parallel training.All other source code, including the parallel LOQO solver insubdirectory loqo and the parallel SMO solver in subdirectorypsmo is licensed under the terms of the GPL as given in LICENSE.txt
