Fortran Genetic Algorithm Front-End Driver Code
This genetic algorithm (GA) driver is free for public use. My only request is that the user reference and/or acknowledge the use of this driver in any papers/reports/articles that have results obtained from the use of this driver. Over the course of 20 years there have now been over 800 citations to my GA in published works.
For companies wishing to link this GA driver with an existing code, I am available for some consulting work. Regardless, I suggest altering this code as little as possible to make future updates easier to incorporate.
To easily download all of the necessary GA files, click on the following .zip archive. The archive is small (all less than 60K), so downloading should be reasonably quick.
Download Fortran GA 1.7.1B.zip (57 KB)
If for some reason you are unable to download these files in this fashion, write to me at [email protected] and I will gladly e-mail the files to you.
The present version of the GA driver is v1.7.1, code last updated on 4/2/2001 with small comment updates on 12/2/2020.
If you are interested in updates, please check this web page occasionally (but realistically, updates will be very rare). After many years of being public freeware, I've had thousands of takers worldwide; in other words, it has become unrealistic for me to e-mail people with update notices. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Enjoy!
