Abstract
This paper studies the auto-tuning of shared-memory hyperheuristics developed on top of a unified shared-memory metaheuristic scheme. A theoretical model of the execution time of the unified scheme is empirically adapted for particular metaheuristics and hyperheuristics through experimentation. The model is used to decide at running time the number of threads to obtain a reduced execution time. The number of threads is different for the different basic functions in the scheme, and depends on the problem to be solved, the metaheuristic scheme, the implementation of the basic functions and the computational system where the problem is solved. The applicability of the proposal is shown with a problem of minimization of electricity consumption in exploitation of wells. Experimental results show that satisfactory execution times can be achieved with auto-tuning techniques based on theoretical-empirical models of the execution time.
