Fast and Approximate Stream Mining of Quantiles and Frequencies Using Graphics Processors

Summary: GPU-accelerated, deterministic stream mining of quantiles and frequencies via rasterized sorting for histogram-based epsilon-approx summaries. Co-processor GPU with minimal CPU-GPU data transfer on commodity hardware; supports fixed/variable sliding windows and large streams (>100M values), beating CPU baselines.
