In this paper we study the performance of constraint-based local search solvers on a GPU. The massively parallel architecture of the GPU makes it possible to explore parallelism at two different levels inside the local search algorithm. First, by executing multiple copies of the algorithm in a multi-walk manner and, second, by evaluating large neighborhoods in parallel in a single-walk manner. Experiments on three well-known problem benchmarks indicate that the current GPU implementation is up to 17 times faster than a well-tuned sequential algorithm implemented on a desktop computer.
