Industrial Automatic Control Systems and Controllers Annotation << Back Solution of the Problem of Finding the Optimal Shape of Pits Using a Parallel Genetic Algorithm Petrov D.V. Mikhelev V.M. This paper describes the principles of supercomputer simulations of the searching open pit limits on high performance computing systems using parallel genetic algorithm. Results of computational experiments had showed high promise of the proposed method to perform calculations on regular block model of open pits. The main advantage of this method is a providing a new principle of optimization problem pits, which let to work directly with the three-dimensional model of the pit. It greatly improves the adequacy of the model obtained. In addition, the flexibility to scale computing process can shorten the calculation model almost linearly with the number of nodes.
