Ask HN: Parallel programs that could be optimized with genetic algorithms
I'm developing a tool for my scientific initiation which uses genetic algorithms for optimization of parallel programs in C with Posix threads, setting mutex locks position and granularity.
I'm searching for problems that could get a real improvement from a tool like that.

- jay_p 12y agoSince your project is a code optimizer, I assume you need code for it to optimize. Is there anything specific that you think would make a good target? Or, in other words, what exactly is a good target?
- mzitelli 12y agoI think that a good target would be a problem with many sincronization points related with many objects/variables.
