A computing system and method for generating and selecting data mining models. The computing system comprises a computer readable medium and computing devices electrically coupled through an interface apparatus. A data mining modeling algorithm is stored on the computer readable medium. Each of the computing devices comprises at least one central processing unit (CPU) and an associated memory device. Each of the associated memory devices comprises a data subset from a plurality of data subsets. A technique is selected for generating a data mining model applied to each of the data subsets. The data mining modeling algorithm is run simultaneously, on each of the computing devices, using the selected technique to generate an associated data mining model on each of the computing devices. A best data mining model from the generated data mining models is determined in accordance with the selected technique.
