Abstract：Processing huge data sets is an important topic in data mining nowadays. Although many serial or parallel algorithms have been developed to deal with huge data sets, most of them are not ideal to resolve the conflict between speed and accuracy. In this paper, the whole huge data set is partitioned into many small subsets for the advantage of distributed computing. At first, a definition of best partition is proposed. Then, a roughsetbased partition algorithm is developed to look for the best partition. Experimental results prove that the distributed information processing method based on the roughsetbased partition algorithm is an effective method in dealing with huge data sets. It is faster than original roughsetbased algorithms and its performance is as good as those processing the original data set as a whole.
