Abstract

This paper introduces a distributed parallel implementation of GP (Genetic Programming), DGP. We implemented our DGP on the parallel system AP-1000+ of Fujitsu, which consisting of 32 processors. Several experimental results are shown comparing three architectures of DGP, i.e. the ring type, the one-way torus, and the two-way torus. We provide evidence for the effectiveness of our DGP by comparative experiments with the partitioned GP, i.e. a DGP without migration, and the canonical GP. In order to analyze the performance, we discuss the change of the structural diversity with generations for solving the deceptive problem.
