%X Genetic algorithms (GAs) are important search and
   optimisation techniques with a wide range of applications.
   The demand for GAs with fast response times has led to the
   investigation of parallel implementations. Three parallel
   GAs are designed, implemented on a transputer network, and
   compared over several benchmark problems. It is believed
   that a fine\-grained approach to parallel genetic algorithms
   is the most promising.
