Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in parallel computing. In parallel computing, multiple computing resources are used simultaneously in solving a problem. There are multiple processors that will work concurrently and the program is divided into different tasks to be simultaneously solved. Recently, a considerable literature has grown up around the theme of metaheuristic algorithms. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is a popular metaheuristic algorithm. The parallel comprehensive learning particle swarm optimization (PCLPSO) algorithm based on PSO has multiple swarms based on the masterslave paradigm and works cooperatively and concurrently. The migration period is an important parameter in PCLPSO and affects the efficiency of the algorithm. We used the well-known benchmark functions in the experiments and analysed the performance of PCLPSO using different migration periods.
