Improved Method for Parallelization of Evolutionary Metaheuristics

Two Evolutionary Representations for Automatic Parallelization

In this paper we describe use of the Revolver system, a test-bed for experimenting with combinations of evolutionary representations and algorithms for automatic parallelization. Results show evidence of adaptation of auto-parallelization strategy by the evolutionary algorithms (EAs) tested, thereby suggesting that EAs are more capable of nding enabling transformations than current parallelizin...

An improved HPLC method for determination of colocynthin in colocynth

Background and objectives: Colocynthin is the major active secondary metabolite of colocynth, Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad, which has been used in traditional and ethno medicine of many countries.  It could be considered as an active marker for quality control of colocynth and its herbal products. Analysis and standardization of colocynth and its herbal preparations are a critical...

Parallelization Strategies for Hybrid Metaheuristics Using a Single GPU and Multi-core Resources

Hybrid metaheuristics are powerful methods for solving complex problems in science and industry. Nevertheless, the resolution time remains prohibitive when dealing with large problem instances. As a result, the use of GPU computing has been recognized as a major way to speed up the search process. However, most GPU-accelerated algorithms of the literature do not take benefits of all the availab...

Efficient parallelization strategy for the SPH method

A Parallelization Method for Multiview Stereo

This paper proposes a parallelization method for 3D shape reconstruction with voxel-based multiview stereo. In our approach, a target voxel space is divided into several domains, each of which is assigned to a different PE (processing element) to be processed in parallel. To reduce the amount of inter-PE communication, our proposed method divides the voxel space by planes passing through a virt...
