ABSTRACT
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have become a major source of computational power for numerical applications. Originally designed for application of time-consuming graphics operations, GPUs are stream processors that implement the SIMD paradigm. Modern programming tools allow developers to access the parallelism of the GPU in a flexible and convenient way, hiding many low level details from the user.
In this tutorial we shall provide a gentle introduction of how to put GPUs to good use with Evolutionary Computation.

Algorithmic performance studies on graphics processing units
We report on our experience with integrating and using graphics processing units (GPUs) as fast parallel floating-point co-processors to accelerate two fundamental computational scientific kernels on the GPU: sparse direct factorization and nonlinear ...
Acceleration of grammatical evolution using graphics processing units: computational intelligence on consumer games and graphics hardware
GECCO '11: Proceedings of the 13th annual conference companion on Genetic and evolutionary computationSeveral papers show that symbolic regression is suitable for data analysis and prediction in financial markets. Grammatical Evolution (GE), a grammar-based form of Genetic Programming (GP), has been successfully applied in solving various tasks ...
Accelerating a hydrological uncertainty ensemble model using graphics processing units (GPUs)
The practical application of hydrological uncertainty models that are designed to generate multiple ensembles can be severely restricted by the available computer processing power and thus, the time taken to generate the results. CPU clusters can help ...
