A Parallel Genetic Simulated Annealing Hybrid Algorithm for Task Scheduling

In this paper combined with the advantages of genetic algorithm and simulated annealing, brings forward a parallel genetic simulated annealing hybrid algorithm (PGSAHA) and applied to solve task scheduling problem in grid computing .It first generates a new group of individuals through genetic operation such as reproduction, crossover, mutation, etc, and than simulated anneals independently all the generated individuals respectively. When the temperature in the process of cooling no longer falls, the result is the optimal solution on the whole. From the analysis and experiment result, it is concluded that this algorithm is superior to genetic algorithm and simulated annealing.
