Inhaltsangabe

GPU-based Parallel Implementation of Swarm Intelligence Algorithms combines and covers two emerging areas attracting increased attention and applications: graphics processing units (GPUs) for general-purpose computing (GPGPU) and swarm intelligence. This book not only presents GPGPU in adequate detail, but also includes guidance on the appropriate implementation of swarm intelligence algorithms on the GPU platform. GPU-based implementations of several typical swarm intelligence algorithms such as PSO, FWA, GA, DE, and ACO are presented and having described the implementation details including parallel models, implementation considerations as well as performance metrics are discussed. Finally, several typical applications of GPU-based swarm intelligence algorithms are presented. This valuable reference book provides a unique perspective not possible by studying either GPGPU or swarm intelligence alone. This book gives a complete and whole picture for interested readers and new comers who will find many implementation algorithms in the book suitable for immediate use in their projects. Additionally, some algorithms can also be used as a starting point for further research.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

GPU-based Parallel Implementation of Swarm Intelligence Algorithms provides guidance on the appropriate implementation of swarm intelligence algorithms on the GPU platform after describing GPGPU in a concise way. This book synthesizes material that has previously only been available in primary literature. It presents a unique perspective which is not possible by studying either GPGPU or swarm intelligence alone.Topics include• Introduction of SIAs, GPU and the combination of SIAs and GPU• A brief description of GPGPU• Four parallel models for GPU-based implementations of SIAs are proposed with which SIAs can be implemented easily and conveniently• Detailed description of typical GPU’s parallel implementations of SIAs, including GPU-PSO, GPU-FWA, AR-FWA, as well as GPU-GA, GPU-DE, and GPU-ACO• Many real-world applications, which can be of great help in deciding whether or not SIAs or GPGPU is appropriate for the task at handKey Features• The first book to address the state-of-the-art parallel implementation of SIAs on the GPU platform, which is a very popular and promising interdisciplinary subject of academic and industrial significance.• Elaborates implementation details of GPU-SIAs and typical exemplars so that researchers and practitioners can easily utilize the techniques to accelerate their algorithmic programs.• Includes a wide range of tables, illustrations, diagrams and practical applications.
