How can I use cloud storage for distributed evolutionary algoritms?
If possible, for free!
Cloud-Based EAs | García-Arenas et al. 5
What we will do
Describe Dropbox, a cloud storage/synchronization system
How we implement a distributed evolutionary algorithm over this system
Raw speedup measures over several computers
Differences between connection modes.
Cloud-Based EAs | García-Arenas et al. 6
A thunderstorm of experiments
1 to 4 different computers.
Gigabit Ethernet or WiFi + WPA connection
Dropbox updated to latest version
MMDP and Trap

Cloudy, with a
chance of evolution
Single individual
Evaluations/node

Conclusions
Dropbox can be used for distributing evolutionary algorithms
Load balancing is automatic.
Network matters
Good scaling
Will it mean a better
