T. Hamalainen et al., ACCELERATING GENETIC ALGORITHM COMPUTATION IN TREE SHAPED PARALLEL COMPUTER, Journal of systems architecture, 42(1), 1996, pp. 19-36
Realizations of genetic algorithms (GAs) in a tree shape parallel comp
uter architecture are presented using different levels of parallelism.
In addition, basic models for parallel GAs are considered, The tree s
hape parallel computer system, GAPA (Genetic Algorithm Parallel Accele
rator) with special hardware for GA computation, is described in detai
l. Also mappings for centralized and distributed GA models are given a
nd their performance has been measured for different population sizes.
