Fig. 5From: Parameter estimation in large-scale systems biology models: a parallel and self-adaptive cooperative strategyGantt diagrams representing the tasks and cooperation between islands against execution time. Process 1 is the master, and processes 2-11 are slaves (islands). Red dots represent asynchronous communications between master and slaves. Light blue marks represent global search steps, while green marks represent local search steps. These figures correspond to two different examples, intended to illustrate the design decisions, described in the text, taken in the self-adaptive procedure to identify successful and failure islands. a Gantt diagram 1 and b Gantt diagram 2Back to article page
