This paper proposed an enhancement in Modified Global (MG) parallelgenetic model and new proposed model is called Trigger Model (TM). The parallel GM and TM model performance were compared with sequential model. The performance of MG, TM and sequential model were evaluated on cluster of PCs. The parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) was used a tool. The proposed model (TM) shows a better performance as compared to MG and sequential models.

In multimodal optimization, maintaining population diversity is one of the most critical issues in geneticalgorithm design. A number of niching techniques have been developed and successfully applied to cope with this problem. For multi-population based parallel genetic algorithms, nevertheless, these approaches are obviously inapplicable, since it is very difficult to obtain global information about entire population during parallel evolution procedure. In the present study, a new island model is proposed to overcome this problem. The new method indiscriminately directs local GAs search with considering the topological information of island model. It only uses local information obtained from a few neighbouring subpopulations to achieve a global population diversification. In the new island model, subpopulations are automatically allocated to different regions of searching space so that they could locate multiple optima including both global optima and local optima, simultaneously orders these found optima according to the connection topology of islands, and keeps them until the end of evolution. In addition, through using the proposed method, the performance of PGA is also improved and displays an enhanced global searching capability. Finally, experimental studies, in both unconstrained optimization and combinatorial optimization, are employed to demonstrate the performance of the new island model.

Through analyzing schema theorem and building blocks theory, propose parallel genetic algorithms based on building blocks migration. Relying on convergence condition, receive building blocks from other populations. Using simulated annealing method prevent the density of good schema to increase greatly which will result in premature convergence. Theory analysis and experimental results show that the method not only reduce ineffective migration and decrease communication costs, but also lower the possibility of occurring premature and assure the capability of global convergence.

This paper presents a parallel genetic algorithm for the job shop scheduling problem (JSP). There are following innovations in this new algorithm: active schedules are created by the priority rules of Giffler and Thompson [1];the mutation uses neighborhood searching techniques;the crossover uses GT algorithm and is performed on 3 parents. We illustrate this new method on the parameters of Muth and Thompson's benchmark problems. it can produce optimal solutions at a high percentage of accuracy. Our proposed method is preeminent in comparison with other methods on both the calculation time and the speed of finding optimal solutions.

This paper presents an adaptive multilevel parameterization algorithm based on genetic optimization algorithm in view of the design issues on blade profile and airfoil. According to the principle of multi-grid method, this algorithm using the recursive algorithm of Bezier curve transforms the design variables and their numbers between upper-lower levels saves the prefect individuals. from upper level to lower level in the optimization iterative process. The optimization efficiency is greatly improved by the advancement of simple geneticalgorithm, and a local parallel network optimization platform according to the property of geneticalgorithm is built, which leads to less time cost. An example on curve transformation and the other on blade profiles optimization are given in the end. The results indicate that the adaptive multilevel parameterization algorithm can obviously accelerate convergence of the iterative, especially, a small number of individuals.

Cloud computing is a novel parallel platform, this paper proposed a kind of simple parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) using Cloud computing called SMRPGA. Comparing with the traditional PGAs using high performance computers (HPC), cluster or Grid, SMRPGA is simple and easy to be implemented. Another advantage is that PGA using Cloud computing is easy to be extend to larger-scale, which is very useful for solving the time-consuming problems. A prototype is implemented based on Hadoop, which is an open source Cloud computing. The result of running two benchmark functions showed that the speed-up of PGA using Cloud Computing is not obvious considering the long communication time and it is suitable to solve the time-consuming problems.

Based on the combination of NSGA-II algorithm and parallel genetic algorithm, this paper presents a parallel genetic algorithm for multi-objective optimization (PNSGA). At the evolving process of this new algorithm, an individual migration to improve the parallel searching speed is applied to improve the efficiency of this algorithm and the accuracy of Pareto optimal set;at the same time, an individual update strategy is introduced to keep the diversity of Pareto optimal set. Data show that the Pareto optimal solutions or the solution candidates output by PNSGA that are scattered extensively and uniformly.

Graph-Coloring problem (GCP) deals with assigning labels (colors) to the vertices of a graph such that adjacent vertices do not get the same color. Coloring a graph with minimum number of colors is a well-known NP-hard problem. In this paper a new permutation based representation of graph coloring problem is solved using a parallel genetic algorithm (PGA). Migration model of parallelism is used with Message passing interface (MPI) for implementation of parallel genetic algorithm. Three-crossover operators namely greedy partition crossover (GPX), Uniform independent set crossover (UISX), and Permutation-based crossover (PX) are used. The performance of the three crossover operators is investigated in terms of convergence and execution time for standard benchmark graphs. The results show that GPX performs well in terms of convergence and PX in terms of execution time. The three crossover operators in parallel genetic algorithm outperform the serial geneticalgorithm approximately by a factor of three. The paper is also validated with the static wavelength assignment problem in optical networks.

Bi-clustering of gene expression micro array data deals with creating a sub-matrix that shows a high similarity across both genes and conditions. Hi-clustering aims at identifying several bi-clusters that reveal potential local patterns from a microarray matrix. In this paper, evolutionary algorithm is used to find bi-clusters of large size which have mean squared residue less than a given threshold, delta. Attention is also given to find bi-clusters with minimum overlapping among themselves by assigning weights to the elements of microarray matrix. Initially, geneticalgorithm (GA) is implemented to derive bi-clusters from microarray matrix. From numerical simulations, it is observed that GA took too much time to converge so as to meet the stopping criteria. To further improve the performance of GA, parallel GA (PGA) is implemented with an objective, so as to efficiently handle the problem of slow convergence encountered in traditional GA. A framework of Coarse grained parallel genetic algorithm (CgPGA) for bi-clustering is implemented in this paper. The results obtained from CgPGA are quite encouraging as CgPGA took very less time to meet the stopping criteria. The bi-clusters derived by CgPGA are larger in size, which is one of the primary objective of bi-clustering problem. The experiment was performed on micro array dataset i.e. yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle.

Shortest path routing is the type of routing widely used in computer networks nowadays. Even though shortest path routing algorithms are well established, other alternative methods may have their own advantages. One such alternative is to use a GA-based routing algorithm. Based on previous research, GA-based routing algorithm has been found to be more scalable and insensitive to variations in network topologies. However, it is also known that GA-based routing algorithm is not fast enough for real-time computation. In this paper, we proposed a parallel genetic algorithm for solving the shortest path routing problem with the aim to reduce its computation time. This algorithm is developed and run on an MPI cluster. Based on experimental result, there is a tradeoff between computation time and the result accuracy. However, for the same level of accuracy, the proposed parallelalgorithm can perform much faster compared to its non-parallel counterpart.
