Overview

We implemented Yang et al, " A Level-based Learning Swarm Optimizer For Large-scale Optimization", using both serial and parallel programming and compared results on the basis of time of convergence.

Serial vs Parallel Implementation of LLSO

SERIAL AND PARALLEL CODE: Link here

Steps to run the serial code:

• gcc -o serial code serial code.c -lm
• .\serial
• Enter the swarm size, level size and learning parameter

Steps to run the parallel code:

• export OMP NUM THREADS=4
• gcc -fopenmp -o parallel parallel final openmp.c -lm
• .\parallel
• Enter the swarm size, level size and learning parameter
