A general framework to understand parallel performance in heterogeneous clusters: analysis of a new adaptive parallel genetic algorithm

چکیده
9 This paper presents a general model to define, measure and predict the efficiency of applications running on heterogeneous parallel computer systems. Using this framework, it is possible to understand the influence that the heterogeneity of the hardware has on the 11 efficiency of an algorithm. This methodology is used to compare an existing parallel genetic algorithm with a new adaptive parallel model. All the performance measurements were taken in a loosely coupled cluster of processors. 13 © 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Adaptive Line Enhancement Using a Parallel IIR Filter with A Step-By-step Algorithm
A step-by-step algorithm for enhancement of periodic signals that are highly corrupted by additive uncorrelated white gausian noise is proposed. In each adaptation step a new parallel second-order section is added to the previous filters. Every section has only one adjustable parameter, i.e., the center frequency of the self-tuning filter. The bandwidth and the convergence factor of each secti...
متن کاملA New Approach to Solve N-Queen Problem with Parallel Genetic Algorithm
Over the past few decades great efforts were made to solve uncertain hybrid optimization problems. The n-Queen problem is one of such problems that many solutions have been proposed for. The traditional methods to solve this problem are exponential in terms of runtime and are not acceptable in terms of space and memory complexity. In this study, parallel genetic algorithms are proposed to solve...
متن کاملAdaptive Algorithm Selection Using an Integrated Hybrid Performance Modeling Approach
Recent advances in parallel and distributed computing have made it very challenging for programmers to reach the performance potential of current systems. In addition, recent advances in numerical algorithms and software optimizations have tremendously increased the number of alternatives for solving a problem, which further complicates the software tuning process. Indeed, no single algorithm c...
متن کاملA New ILP Model for Identical Parallel-Machine Scheduling with Family Setup Times Minimizing the Total Weighted Flow Time by a Genetic Algorithm
This paper presents a novel, integer-linear programming (ILP) model for an identical parallel-machine scheduling problem with family setup times that minimizes the total weighted flow time (TWFT). Some researchers have addressed parallel-machine scheduling problems in the literature over the last three decades. However, the existing studies have been limited to the research of independent jobs,...
