TurboGA: An Experimental Genetic Algorithm Based on SpeedyGA

08 May 2009 (Updated 18 Aug 2009)

TurboGA implements a special mechanism which should improve the quality of the results returned

File Information
Description	TurboGA contains all the features of speedyGA v1.3. In addition it contains an implementation of a special mechanism called clamping which, according to a new theory about the workings of genetic algorithms (see http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~kekib/dissertation.html ), should significantly improve the quality of the solutions returned. One of the most effective ways to test this new theory is by studying the efficacy of clamping on a range of problems. That's where you come in. I propose a quid pro quo. In return for easy access to TurboGA, I ask that you report on the efficacy of clamping on the problem(s) that you apply this script to. Please email your comments to kekib@alum.vassar.edu
