title = "Efficiency of Parallel Genetic Algorithms for Protein Folding on the 2-D HP Model",
abstract = "In the paper, we study the problem of using parallel genetic algorithms (PGAs) for protein-folding on the 2D HP model. In particular, parallelism introduces additional costs such as communications latencies and bottlenecks that affect performance. We focus on the theoretical analysis of running times for several well-known parallel configurations including master-slave, fine-grained, coarse grained and their variants. From performance data gathered, the theoretical analysis presented has been shown to successfully predict the running times.",
