Abstract

In this paper the use of metaheuristics techniques in a parallel computing course is explained. In the practicals of the course different metaheuristics are used in the solution of a mapping problem in which processes are assigned to processors in a heterogeneous environment, with heterogeneity in computation and in the network. The parallelization of the metaheuristics is also considered.
