A Scalable Genetic Programming Approach to Integrate miRNA-Target Predictions: Comparing Different Parallel Implementations of M3GP

Figure 3

Parallelization options for M3GP: an example with four independent threads (or workers). After the start, a nonparallel branch and a parallel one are shown. The latter highlights possible ways to parallelize the M3GP method, that is, (i) to evolve each solution independently, (ii) to compute each branch of the fitness tree separately, or (iii) to combine the two previous approaches.
