Abstract

This work considers a parallel algorithm for solving multidimensional multiextremal optimization problems. The issue of implementation of the algorithm on state-of-the-art computing systems using Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor is considered. Speed up of the algorithm using Xeon Phi compared to using only CPU is experimentally confirmed. Computational experiments are carried out using a set of a several hundred of multidimensional multiextremal problems.
