Experience of Applying Volunteer Computing to Solve Scientific Problems Using an Evolutionary Algorithm

This paper proposes practical methods for improving performance when using an evolutionary algorithm in a volunteer computing environment. The analysis showed that the low stability of some nodes leads to a delay in the creation of a new generation. The paper will propose a way to overcome this problem by maintaining a stable resource.The problem of the inability to pre-estimate task durations is also discussed and methods for overcoming it are proposed.
