Differential evolution for task allocation in mesh networks: Experimentation system and comparison of mutation schemes

摘要

The paper concerns the problem of the allocation of processes in mesh structured systems. The implemented optimization algorithm is based on the idea of Differential Evolution. The algorithm can be tuned along with ten different mutation schemes. The essential aim of the paper is checking these mutation schemes' impact on the efficiency of the considered algorithm. The studies are based on the simulations which have been made using the own created and implemented experimentation system. The reported results allow for the recommendation of one of the mutation schemes called DE/best/2.
