Users guide to the PGAPack parallel genetic algorithm library
PGAPack is a parallel genetic algorithm library that is intended to provide most capabilities desired in a genetic algorithm package, in an integrated, seamless, and portable manner. Key features of PGAPack are as follows: Ability to be called from Fortran or C. Executable on uniprocessors, multiprocessors, multicomputers, and workstation networks. Binary-, integer-, real-, and character-valued native data types. Object-oriented data structure neutral design. Parameterized population replacement. Multiple choices for selection, crossover, and mutation operators. Easy integration of hill-climbing heuristics. Easy-to-use interface for novice and application users. Multiple levels of access for expert users. Full extensibility to support custom operators and new data types. Extensive debugging facilities. Large set of example problems.
