networked computer system, and method to solve a computational problem.

摘要

server computer system for use with a plurality of client computers a server computer and a multiplicity of client computers are described which form a network computing system that is scalable and adapted to continue to evaluate the performance characteristics of numerous genes generated using a software application. each client computer continues to periodically receive data associated with the genes stored in its memory. using this data, client computers evaluate the performance characteristic of their genes by comparing a solution provided by the gene with the periodically received data associated with that gene. in this way, the performance characteristic of each gene can be updated and varied with each of the data periodically received. the performance characteristic of a gene defines its conditioning. genes can be virtual asset traders who recommend trading options. genes can initially be assigned to different classes to improve convergence, but it can later be decided to mix them with genes from other classes to increase diversity.
