This paper introduces Pact, a new model for parallel heuristic programming on MIMD machines. Designed and implemented as an integrated tool environment, Pact allows the user to dev...
We present in this work a wide spectrum of results on analyzing the behavior of parallel heuristics for solving optimization problems. We focus on evolutionary algorithms as well ...
In this paper, we present the parallelization of tabu search on a network of workstations using PVM. Two parallelization strategies are integrated: functional decomposition strate...

In order to show that the parallel co-evolution of di erent heuristic methods may lead to an e cient search strategy, we have hybridized three heuristic agents of complementary beh...
—This paper describes the application of various search techniques to the problem of automatic empirical code optimization. The search process is a critical aspect of auto-tuning...
