摘要
Genetic algorithms are a global optimization method that is ideally suited for implementation on parallel computers. In this article, a genetic algorithm developed to solve problems in heat conduction is parallelized and run on a parallel computer (IBM SP2). The algorithm presented here contains a novel local search operator that greatly improves its accuracy. The algorithm itself and the parallelization strategy are discussed in the first part of the article, followed by a detailed discussion of the algorithm's results and its performance vis-a-vis its serial version.
