Approximate computing involves selectively reducing the number of transistors in a circuit to improve energy savings. Energy savings may be achieved at the cost of reduced accuracy for signal processing applications whereby constituent adder and multiplier circuits need not generate a precise output. Since the performance versus energy savings landscape is complex, we investigate the acceleration of the design of approximate adders using parallelized geneticalgorithms (GAs). The fitness evaluation of each approximate adder is explored by the GA in a non-sequential fashion to automatically generate novel approximate designs within specified performance thresholds. This paper advances methods of parallelizing GAs and implements a new parallel GA approach for approximate multi-bit adder design. A speedup of approximately 1.6-fold is achieved using a quad-core Intel processor and results indicate that the proposed GA is able to find adders which consume 63.8% less energy than accurate adders.

This paper proposes an iterative parallel genetic algorithm with biased initial population to solve large-scale combinatorial optimization problems. The proposed scheme employs a master-slave collaboration in which the master node manages searched space of slave nodes and assigns seeds to generate initial population to. slaves for their restarting of evolution process. Our approach allows us as widely as possible to search by all the slave nodes in the beginning period of the searching and then focused searching by multiple slaves on a certain spaces that seems to include good quality solutions. Computer experiment shows the effectiveness of our proposed scheme.

geneticalgorithms (GA) are widely used in the literature to extract interesting association rules. However, they are time consuming mainly due to the growing size of databases. To speed up this process, we propose two parallel GAs (ARMGPU and ARM-CPU/GPU). In ARM-GPU, parallelism is used to compute the fitness which is the most time consuming task;while, ARM-CPU/GPU proposes a two-level-based parallel GA. In the first level, the different cores of the CPU execute a GAARM on a sub-population. The second level of parallelism is used to compute the fitness, in parallel, on GPU. To validate the proposed two parallel GAs, several tests were conducted to solve well-known large ARM instances. Obtained results show that our parallelalgorithms outperform state-of-the-art exact algorithms (APRIORI and FP-GROWTH) and approximate algorithms (SEGPU and ME-GPU) in terms of execution time.

A new multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, called selective migration parallel genetic algorithm (SMPGA) was presented in this paper, which designs a new migration strategy and qualification based on the adaptive grid. In SMPGA, a searching population and a elite population evolve at the same time;unique migration strategy and qualification are used to keep and improve the convergence and diversity of the Pareto optimal set. Besides, according to their different purposes, the two populations adopt different crossover strength. Simulation results show that SMPGA can find accurate and uniform Pareto optimal solutions on different multi-objective problems.

Recently, heat-integrated pressure-swing distillation (HIPSD) has been explored for recovering isopropanol and benzene from wastewater, but the process remains highly energy-intensive. Given the dilute nature of the feed, intensified extractive distillation with an integrated preconcentration column (IED) is more suitable. However, previous researches have often overlooked the critical role of pressure and lacked rigorous optimization of operating pressure in such systems. In this article, we developed novel extractive pressure-swing distillation with integrated feed preconcentration/solvent recovery column (IEPSD) by introducing a pressure-swing configuration and incorporate energy-saving technologies to achieve more sustainable and cost-effective separation processes. First, thermodynamic analysis is conducted to explore the effect of pressure on extractive pressure-swing distillation. Then, a parallel genetic algorithm is applied for rigorous optimization, followed by the application of heat integration and heat pump. The IEPSD is superior to IED in terms of total annual cost (TAC) and CO2 emission. With the inclusion of energy-saving technologies, IEDHI and IEPSDHI further reduced TAC by 5.29% and 7.40%, and cut CO2 emissions by 25.18% and 24.03%, respectively, compared to their base processes. The use of a heat pump is particularly advantageous for IEPSD due to its lower boiling temperatures under vacuum pressure, leading to the development of IEPSDHIHP, which offered an additional 22.36% CO2 reduction and marginally lower TAC than IEPSDHI. Ultimately, IEPSDHIHP proves to be the best option, offering a 51.15% TAC reduction and 68.42% CO2 emissions reduction compared to HIPSD. In summary, the developed IED and IEPSD processes, especially with heat integration and heat pump technologies, offer significant economic and environmental advantages over conventional HIPSD.
