Algorithm and Method

Systems and methods are provided for a core management system for parallel processing of an evolutionary algorithm. The systems and methods may include identifying, for a processing environment, a plurality of arriving processors available for utilization; configuring a first number of the plurality of arriving processors as master processors for the processing environment; configuring a respective second number of the plurality of arriving processors as slave processors, where each master processor is assigned one or more of the slave processors for the processing environment, where each master processor maintains timing data associated with available processing resources at the respective master processor, where each master processor is operative to calculate a respective target number of slaves based upon the respective timing data; and reconfiguring a current number of slave processors assigned to one or more respective master processors based upon the respective timing data calculated for the one or more respective master processors.
