Abstract

A phylogenetic tree represents the evolutionary relationships among biological species. Although parallel computation is essential for the phylogenetic tree searches, it is not easy to maintain the diversity of population in a parallel genetic algorithm. In this paper, we design a new asynchronous parallel genetic algorithm for tree optimization which maintain the diversity of population without any communication or synchronization.
