Abstract

This paper presents concept and implementation of EPL-Julia, the C++ framework elaborated to support evolutionary computations. The considered library is designed for high performance but it also offers great flexibility and functionality. In this package, we combine different programming techniques to develop template functions and classes, which allow efficient implementation of various evolutionary methods. In the paper, we discuss the library architecture, and we give results of comparison between our software and other packages, such as galib.
