This thesis investigates how different approaches affect performance on systems based on large-scale genetic algorithms.
The system used is GABIL~cite{GABIL}, which uses genetic algorithms (GA) for learning classification rules.
It is tested using two different techniques: using multiple populations or multiple chromosomes per individual.
The first technique attempts different solutions simultaneously.
The second technique attempts many different solutions sequentially.
The experiment consists of running GABIL on three datasets.
Each dataset was run using each technique ten times.
Each run was timed.
Each dataset was also run using standard GABIL.
The results show that multiple populations perform best when there is enough processing power available.
Using multiple chromosomes per individual is best when there is not enough processing power available.
Using multiple populations performs better than using multiple chromosomes per individual when there is enough processing power available.

label{chapter:intro}
Genetic algorithms~cite{Goldberg1989} are stochastic search algorithms inspired by biological evolution~cite{Darwin1859}.
They attempt to find solutions by emulating natural selection~cite{Darwin1859}.
Genetic algorithms work by evolving solutions over time.
An initial population consisting of randomly generated individuals is created.
Individuals are then selected based on fitness.
The fittest individuals are then recombined with one another using crossover~cite{Goldberg1989}.
Crossover creates offspring by combining parts of two parent individuals.
Mutation~cite{Goldberg1989} also occurs at random.
The new population then undergoes selection again.
This process continues until either a stopping condition occurs or until convergence~cite{Goldberg1989}.
This thesis focuses on genetic algorithms used on large-scale problems.
Large-scale genetic algorithms~cite{Aarts1998} use many computers or processors working together.
Genetic algorithms can be parallelized~cite{Aarts1998} using different techniques.
Two techniques used are master-slave parallelization~cite{Aarts1998} and island parallelization~cite{Aarts1998}.
Master-slave parallelization uses one master computer which delegates work out among slave computers.
Island parallelization uses several computers which communicate occasionally.
Master-slave parallelization can use either master-slave GA~cite{Aarts1998} or master-slave MAP-Elites~cite{Salge2006}.
Master-slave GA uses only one population across all computers.
Master-slave MAP-Elites uses many populations across all computers.
Island parallelization can use either island GA~cite{Aarts1998} or island MAP-Elites~cite{Salge2006}.
Island GA uses multiple populations across all computers.
Island MAP-Elites uses many populations across all computers.
This thesis compares master-slave GA with island GA using two systems:
GABIL~cite{GABIL} and NSGA-II~cite{Deb2002}.
GABIL learns classification rules while NSGA-II optimizes multi-objective problems.
GABIL was chosen because it provides implementations using both techniques~cite{GABIL}.
NSGA-II was chosen because it provides implementations using both techniques which perform similarly well as those provided by GABIL.
The remainder of this chapter introduces genetic algorithms~sectionref{ssec:genetic-algorithms}, large-scale genetic algorithms~sectionref{ssec:large-scale-ga}, GABIL~sectionref{ssec:gabil}, NSGA-II~sectionref{ssec:nsga}, and this thesis' contributions~sectionref{ssec:contributions}.
Sections sectionref{ssec:gabil} through sectionref{ssec:nsga} describe systems which are investigated throughout this thesis.

An initial population consisting of randomly generated individuals is created.
Individuals are then selected based on fitness.
The fittest individuals are then recombined with one another using crossover~cite{Goldberg1989}.
Crossover creates offspring by combining parts of two parent individuals.
Mutation also occurs at random at some point during crossover or afterwards.
