Function PGARunGM

Defined in File parallel.c

Function Documentation

void PGARunGM(PGAContext *ctx, double (*evaluate)(PGAContext*, int, int, double*), MPI_Comm comm)

High-level routine to execute the genetic algorithm using the global model.

Description

It is called after PGACreate() and PGASetUp() have been called. If a NULL communicator is given, a sequential execution method is used, otherwise, work is divided among the processors in the communicator.

Example

PGAContext *ctx;
double f (PGAContext *ctx, int p, int pop, double *aux);

...
PGARunGM (ctx, f, MPI_COMM_WORLD);

Parameters:

ctx – context variable
evaluate – a pointer to the user’s evaluation function, which must have the calling sequence shown in the example
comm – an MPI communicator

Returns:

None
