A segmented algorithm for simulated annealing
Statistics and Computing, 1992The properties of a parameterized form of generalized simulated annealing for function minimization are investigated by studying the properties of repeated minimizations from random starting points. This leads to the comparison of distributions of function values and of numbers of function evaluations.

A Simulated Annealing Algorithm for GPU Clusters
2012Simulated Annealing (SA) is a powerful global optimization technique that is frequently used for solving many practical problems from various scientific and technical fields. In this article we present a novel approach to parallelization of SA and propose an algorithm optimized for execution in GPU clusters.

Simulated annealing algorithms: an overview
IEEE Circuits and Devices Magazine, 1989A brief introduction is given to the actual mechanics of simulated annealing, and a simple example from an IC layout is used to illustrate how these ideas can be applied. The complexities and tradeoffs involved in attacking a realistically complex design problem are illustrated by dissecting two very different annealing algorithms for VLSI chip ...

Simulated annealing algorithm for virtual network reconfiguration
Proceedings of the 8th Euro-NF Conference on Next Generation Internet NGI 2012, 2012Network virtualization has evoked interest among researchers as a promising solution for developing flexible and manageable architectures for future Internet. One of the major challenges in network virtualization is the efficient allocation of substrate resources to the Virtual Networks (VNs) - a problem known as Virtual Network Embedding (VNE).

A nested simulated annealing algorithm
Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, 1995The paper describes a new nested simulated annealing algorithm which is a modification of the usual simulated annealing algorithm. In the nested algorithm super-cooling phases are introduced into the normal annealing process, to speed up the evolution of good solutions.

Performance of the simulated annealing algorithm
1987The performance analysis of an approximation algorithm concentrates on the following two quantities: the quality of the final solution obtained by the algorithm, i.e. the difference in cost value between the final solution and a globally minimal configuration; the running time required by the algorithm.

Genetic Algorithms and Simulated Annealing
2001This chapter introduces the basic concepts and notation of genetic algorithms and simulated annealing, which are two basic search methodologies that can be used for modelling and simulation of complex non-linear dynamical systems. Since both techniques can be considered as general purpose optimization methodologies, we can use them to find the ...

Three Parallel Algorithms for Simulated Annealing
2002A vehicle routing problem which reduces to an NP-complete set-partitioning problem is considered. Three parallel algorithms for simulated annealing, i.e. the independent, semi-independent and co-operating searches are investigated. The objective is to improve the accuracy of solutions to the problem by applying parallelism.
