This paper presents a new Cooperative Evolutionary MultiSwarm Optimization Algorithm (CEMSO-GPU) based on CUDA parallel architecture applied to solve engineering problems. The focus on this approach is: The use of the concept of master/slave swarm with a mechanism of sharing data; and, the parallelism method based on the paradigm of General Purpose Computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) with NVIDIA-CUDA architecture. All these improvements were made aiming to produce better solutions in fewer iterations of the algorithm and to improve the search for best results. The algorithm was tested for some well-known engineering problems (ATD, WBD and SRD-25) and the results compared to other approaches.
