The preparation of Simultaneous display of front and back sides of spherical SOM method - 1. Construction of the tool

Abstract

We developed a new piece of software capable of simultaneously displaying both sides of the spherical SOM. This enables simultaneous comparison, making it much easier to determine the correspondence between the back and front. Moreover, by making a modified the software to 64-bit version, it also supports for large-scale data. Furthermore, an implementation of high-speed processing has been made, and the evaluation of it was carried out. And on the newly developed software, the maximum number of node for Spherical SOM is increased 2562 to 10242.
