RE: New BOINC Project - Distributed Hardware Evolution Project

in #boinc6 years ago

Thanks for the tip, I noticed that the work units have a 6 month deadline so I didn't worry about the pace of work.
I did think it was strange that an evolutionary algorithm would have such long deadlines but if the application is constantly communicating with the network it can be much more dynamic.
I suppose each "island" will reach a sort of evolutionary limit and then conclude calculations so that its "genes" can be crossed with other solutions for the next cycle.
