Abstract

This paper is devoted to developing a genetic algorithm for a communication network design that minimizes total link cost, and subjects to some constraints like diameter and two-connectivity. Two parallel genetic algorithms on the level of partitioning requirements and the level of dividing population are proposed and implemented over a transputer based parallel network with various virtual network topologies. The ring-ring topology gives the best performance for the parallel genetic algorithm on the level of partitioning requirements, and the torus topology is the most suitable topology for the parallel genetic algorithm on the level of dividing population.
