The design and implementation of MPI master-slave parallel genetic algorithm

Abstract

In this paper, the MPI master-slave parallel genetic algorithm is implemented by analyzing the basic genetic algorithm and parallel MPI program, and building a Linux cluster. This algorithm is used for the test of maximum value problems (Rosen brocks function) .And we acquire the factors influencing the master-slave parallel genetic algorithm by deriving from the analysis of test data. The experimental data shows that the balanced hardware configuration and software design optimization can improve the performance of system in the complexity of the computing environment using the master-slave parallel genetic algorithms.
