Multi-GPU Tabu Search Metaheuristic for the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem

  • Chapter
Advanced Methods and Applications in Computational Intelligence

Part of the book series: Topics in Intelligent Engineering and Informatics ((TIEI,volume 6))

Abstract

We propose a new framework of the distributed tabu search metaheuristic designed to be executed using a multi-GPU cluster, i.e. cluster of nodes equipped with GPU computing units. The methodology is designed to solve difficult discrete optimization problems, such as a job shop scheduling problem, which we introduce to solve as a case study for the framework designed.
