Evolving Parallel Computation

Working Papers from Santa Fe Institute

Abstract: Evolution is applied to the development of parallel digital computer programs. The environment is a shared memory virtual computer containing a population of parallel computer programs. Although the digital computer is a very different environment than the ecology of the Earth, evolution is shown to work effectively in the digital environment and produce significant increases in parallelism.
