Implementation of Genetic Algorithm for Solving De Jong Test Function on Cloud Environment and Compare Its Performance with Local Host Environment

In this day, Cloud Computing has gained large attention not only from IT specialists but also from many clients. It is global network (internet)-based computing, where shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like the electricity bill. Firstly Cost can be reduced and the technology is also known as green saver or power technology. Secondly, the dynamic and flexible scalability of cloud computing. The third is that cloud computing is platform independent means any internet supported system can be used to access cloud environment. In our paper, we will discuss the utility of the cloud computing for scientific computing. Google App Engine (GAE) is adopted because it is open source or free and good software development Kit is available. Simple Genetic Algorithm are implemented on the GAE for solving the minimization of De Jong Test Function and for measuring the performance of cloud for showing that how cloud is the better choice than desktop.
