Illinois Genetic Algorithms Laboratory

IlliGAL's work on genetic algorithm extreme scalability, including the billion-variable work, is mentioned prominently in a blog post at Joris's jlog here. Joris's abstract submission (here) to Google's Scalability Conference (here) cites The Design of Innovation, Pelikan's hBOA work, and the billion-variable breakthrough.  Examine the full billion-variable tech report here.

April 1 (Urbana, IL). The Illinois Genetic Algorithms Laboratory (IlliGAL ) announced today that a simple genetic algorithm proved that P = NP.  Details of the surprising result will be published next month in the journal Complexity. Details released today indicate that a 20-node cluster computer running since the 1988 publication of Genetic Algorithms in […]
