This paper presents a distributed genetic algorithm for the channel routing problem in MPI environments. This system is implemented on a network of personal computers running Linux operating system connected via 10Mbps Ethernet. Each slave processor generates its own sub-population using genetic operations and communicates with the master processor in an asynchronous manner to form the global population. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm maintains the convergence properties of sequential genetic algorithm while it achieves linear speedup as the nets of the channel routing and the number of computing processors increase.
