Abstract
The Methodology to Parallelize Simulated Annealing (MPSA) leads to massive parallelization by executing each temperature cycle
of the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm in parallel. The initial solution for each internal cycle is set through a Monte
Carlo random sampling to adjust the Boltzmann distribution at the cycle beginning. MPSA uses an asynchronous communication
scheme and any implementation of MPSA leads to a parallel Simulated Annealing algorithm that is in general faster than its
sequential implementation version while the precision is held. This paper illustrates the advantages of the MPSA scheme by
parallelizing a SA algorithm for the Traveling Salesman Problem.
