Parallel Strategies for Stochastic Evolution
: This paper discusses the parallelization of Stochastic Evolution (StocE) metaheuristic, for a distributed parallel environment. VLSI cell placement is used as an optimization pro...

Comparative evaluation of parallelization strategies for evolutionary and stochastic heuristics
In this paper we present an evaluation of selected parallel strategies for Simulated Annealing and Simulated Evolution, identifying the impact of various issues on the effectivene...

Evaluating parallel simulated evolution strategies for VLSI cell placement
Simulated Evolution (SimE) is an evolutionary metaheuristic that has produced results comparable to well established stochastic heuristics such as SA, TS and GA, with shorter runti...

A Natural Evolution Strategy for Multi-objective Optimization
Abstract. The recently introduced family of natural evolution strategies (NES), a novel stochastic descent method employing the natural gradient, is providing a more principled alt...
