Abstract

In this paper we present a concurrent implementation of genetic algorithms designed for shared memory architectures, intended to take advantage of multi-core processor platforms. Our algorithm divides the problems into sub-problems along the chromosome as opposed to the usual approach of dividing the population into niches. We show tests for timing and performance on a variety of platforms
