GPUs for Genetic and Evolutionary Computation
The Goal This competition focuses on the applications of genetic and evolutionary computation that can maximally exploit the parallelism provided by low-cost consumer graphical cards. The competition will award the best applications both in terms of degree of parallelism obtained, in terms of overall speed-up, and in terms of programming style. The Competition We had 4 excellent submissions that have now been reviewed by our panel. During the competition slot, the entrants will be given time to present their work. The winner will be announced on Sunday. |
