Abstract
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.
