Abstract

The paper introduces anoptimized multicore CPU implementation of the genetic algorithm and comparesits performance with a fine-tuned GPU version. The main goal is to show the trueperformance relation between modern CPUs and GPUs and eradicate some of myths surroundingGPU performance. It is essential for the evolutionary community to provide thesame conditions and designer effort to both implementations when benchmarkingCPUs and GPUs. Here we show the performance comparison supported byarchitecture characteristics narrowing the performance gain of GPUs.
