In this paper, we accelerate the performance of the population-based harmony search algorithm using a simple implementation under MATLAB on graphic processing units (GPUs). The implementation is tested on several well-known benchmark functions providing a considerable speedup over both the sequential and CPU-parallel implementations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
