Abstract : Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a heuristic and population based optimization algorithm. PSO can be used in clustering problems and dominates well known clustering algorithms such as K-Means and Fuzzy C-Means in the context of not being stuck the local optima. In this study, a parallel PSO method was presented for clustering data.The parallel PSO was tested with the iris and an artificial data set on a multiprocessor system. The results are compared to the sequential PSO in term of fitness value, computation time and clustering success. The results show that parallel PSO outclasses sequential PSO in the term of computation time in multiprocessor system. On the other hand, clustering success of parallel PSO is not less than sequential PSO. Even its clustering success is %100 for the artificial dataset, whereas S-PSO’s clustering success is about %95. Besides, parallel PSO converges to the optimum result for both datasets much earlier than S-PSO. Index Terms — PSO, parallel computing, clustering, multiprocessor.
