# elephant56

*elephant56* is a Genetic Algorithms (GAs) framework for Hadoop MapReduce with the aim of easing the development of distributed GAs. It provides high level functionalities which can be reused by developers, who no longer need to worry about complex internal structures.

## Features

- Sequential Genetic Algorithm

- Parallel Genetic Algorithm

  - Global model, also called master-slave model

  - Grid model, also called cellular model or fine-grained parallel model

  - Island model, also called distributed model or coarse-grained parallel model

- Report of execution time and population evolution

- Sample individual and genetic operator implementations

  - Number sequence individuals, roulette wheel selection, single point crossover, etc.

## Usage

1. Compile the library with Maven

2. Import the library in a new project

3. Extend `it.unisa.elephant56.user` classes (optional)

4. Choose a driver (sequential or parallel)

6. Register the individual and genetic operator classes to the driver

5. Insert `driver.run()`

6. Pack everything in a JAR

7. Run with Hadoop!

## Example of Use

We provide a full deployable and runnable [example](examples/onemax) implementing the *OneMax* problem.
