Re: [Geneticd-devel] First step toward parallel processing is done!

[Stephen W. <sw...@wa...>]

Great news on getting the project converted over to the (more portable)
autoconf setup.  I will hopefully be able to check it soon.  My real work
is pretty hectic these days so I'm not sure how soon I might be able to
contribute; however, I remain as interested as ever.

I also ready your notes on how to approach the parallelization of gd.
Please consider checking out what John Koza and company have done on their
Beowulf system with Genetic Programming.  Here's the link describing it:

http://www.genetic-programming.com/parallel.html

This approach makes a lot of sense to me.  It provides an inherent
speciation model, allows for asynchronous execution.  Clients can be of
different speeds, and, may check in and out of working on a problem at any
moment during a run.

Just my $0.02..  Hope it might be helpful.
