摘要
This paper uses a realistic combinatorial optimization problem as an example to show how a genetic algorithm can be parallelized in an efficient way. The problem considered is the selection of the best set of transmitter locations in order to cover a given geographical region at optimal cost. It is shown that it is possible to obtain good solutions to the problem even with a very low communication load. The parallel program is tested, first on an artificial example, then on a real-life case. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
