- | ===== Optimising Ant Colony Algorithms for Performance ====== | ||
- | |||
- | Ants have inspired a number of computational techniques and among the most successful is ant colony optimization (ACO). ACO is an optimization technique that can be applied to tackle a wide variety of computational problems that arise in computer science, telecommunications, and engineering. | ||
- | |||
- | The goal of this project is to improve the performance of ACO algorithms by investigating and testing various implementation techniques: intrinsic functions (MMX/SSE floating-point operations), CPU cache effects, or GPU programming. | ||
- | |||
- | Required skills: knowledge of C programming. Some knowledge about computer architecture. | ||
