DESCRIPTION

PiSvM 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.

This is a fork of pisvm-1.2 found at http://pisvm.sourceforge.net/
that aims to increase scalability.

DOCUMENTATION

Documentation on how to use the PiSvM software as well as
performance 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:
