However, many of the existing algorithms and frameworks are optimised for sequential execution and are not capable to be parallelised or do not scale well on complex parallel architectures. In our paper, we present a metaheuristic consisting of a parallel Evolutionary Algorithm and a parallel Neighbourhood Search. For the implementation massively parallel GPUs are used. This framework is evaluated on the application of function optimisation.enParticle Swarm OptimizationEvolutionary AlgorithmGraphic Processing UnitFunction OptimisationVariable Neighbourhood SearchText/Journal Article10.1007/BF033419940177-0454
