Analysis of a Master-Slave Architecture for Distributed Evolutionary Computations

Marc Dubreuil, Christian Gagné and Marc Parizeau

Abstract - This paper introduces a new mathematical model of the master-slave architecture for distributed Evolutionary Computations (EC). This model is validated using a concrete implementation based on the Distributed BEAGLE C++ framework. Results show that contrary to (current) popular belief, master-slave architectures are able to scale well over LANs of workstations using off-the-shelf networking equipment. The main properties of the master-slave are also compared with those of the more mainstream island-model.
