Abstract

This paper examines how the false claims of super-linear speedup (super-linearity) have become common in the re search works of parallel genetic algorithms (PGAs). A basic review of relevant theory of parallel computing is presented, along with some cases of super-linearity. The discussion section answers why super-linear speedup is met and the conclusion summarizes all worthwhile theories connected to this topic.
