Particle swarm optimization (PSO), like other population-based meta-heuristics, is intrinsically parallel and can be effectively implemented on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), which are, in fact, massively parallel processing architectures. In this paper we discuss possible approaches to parallelizing PSO on graphics hardware within the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), a GPU programming environment by nVIDIA which supports the company
