Researchers have developed a fine-grain GPU parallelization technique for the Generalized Partition Crossover (GPX) operator, specifically targeting large-scale Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP). This method reformulates the GPX partitioning as a graph-parallel problem, employing techniques like coalesced memory layouts and connected-component analysis. Implemented using CUDA, the approach parallelizes key steps such as tour union, vertex splitting, and component identification. Experiments show significant speedups, ranging from 48x to 625x, for TSP instances with up to 2 million cities, demonstrating improved scalability for genetic algorithm solvers on modern many-core architectures.
