HOWTO: Parallelizing Cross Validation


  1. The current phases of the cross validation process for which we have tools to allow parallelization are the training and testing phases. The tools for generating parallel scripts are highly dependent on the format of the trainSVM.sh and testSVM.sh files, expecting the format generated by the ValidationSelectTrainingSets program. For further information on the initial programs that need to be run to perform cross validation, see the
