In this paper we describe an implementation of some kinds of parallel genetic algorithms on the PVM. Parallel Virtual Machine, a portable parallel environment. We give details of a genetic algorithm running on many small subpopulations with an occasional identification and exchange of their useful information among subpopulations by means of message-passing functions of PVM. In this work, experiments were done to compare the parallel genetic algorithm and traditional sequential genetic algorithms.
