# Genetic algorithm

Examples of genetic algorithm applications in parallel and distributed environments.

1. [Prerequisites](#prerequisites)

2. [Installation](#installation)

3. [Authors](#authors)

4. [License](#license)

## Prerequisites

This project collects examples of genetic algorithm applications to very simple problems.

The codes are written in c++ language with the support of **c++14 standard**.

Before install it, please upgrade your c++ compiler version to a compatible one (ex. version >= 5 for g++ compiler).

For the multi-threading version of the algorithm **OpenMP** is required so please check if your compiler support it.

A more sophisticated version of the algorithm is written with **MPI**. Before install this project, please verify if **boost mpi** libraries are already installed.

For the MPI compiler must be set the variable OMPI_CXX.

## Installation

To build the executables, clone the repo and then type

```

make omp OMP=1

```

for the multi-threading version, and

```

make mpi MPI=1

```

for the message-passing version.

If in the Makefile the variable OMP is set to **true** (aka 1) you can enable multi-threading also for the mpi code (**hybrid version**).
