In order to do that, we first studied the characteristics of GPU devices and matching methods. Then, we proposed GPU-based designs for two of the most representative matching algorithms. After that, we studied how to solve the imbalanced learning problem in large databases by providing a scalable solution for one of the most well-known techniques to deal with imbalanced classification and the underlying classification algorithm that this technique uses. Section 2 describes in detail the background of the main topics covered by the thesis: GPU devices and their characteristics (Section 2.1), fingerprint matching (Section 2.2) and classification and imbalanced data (Section 2.3). Section 3 presents the justification of this doctoral dissertation, describing the problems addressed throughout the thesis. Section 4 marks the objectives pursued and Section 5 introduces the methodology used to achieve them. Section 6 summarizes the works that comprise this thesis, while Section 7 analyses their results in relation to the objectives. Section 8 presents the conclusions obtained during the work collected in this thesis and Section 9 points out future lines of work derived from the results obtained.}, organization = {Tesis Univ.
