Abstract

We consider the task of comparing fuzzy estimates of the execution parameters of genetic algorithms implemented at GPU (graphics processing unit’ GPU) and CPU (central processing unit) architectures. Fuzzy estimates are calculated based on the averaged dependencies of the genetic algorithms running time at GPU and CPU architectures from the number of individuals in the populations processed by the algorithm. The analysis of the averaged dependences of the genetic algorithms running time at GPU and CPU-architectures showed that it is possible to process 10’000 chromosomes at GPU-architecture or 5’000 chromosomes at CPUarchitecture by genetic algorithm in approximately 2’500 ms. The following is correct for the cases under consideration: “Genetic algorithms (GA) are performed in approximately 2, 500 ms (on average), ” and a sections of fuzzy sets, with a = 0.5, correspond to the intervals [2, 000.2399] for GA performed at the GPU-architecture, and [1, 400.1799] for GA performed at the CPU-architecture. Thereby, it can be said that in this case, the actual execution time of the algorithm at the GPU architecture deviates in a lesser extent from the average value than at the CPU.
