In this article, some instances of well known combinatorial optimization NP-Hard problems are solved by using Koopmans and Beckmann formulation of the quadratic assignment problem (QAP). These instances are solved by using an Embarrassingly Parallel Genetic Algorithm or by using an Island Parallel Genetic Algorithm; in both cases, the implementation is carried out on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).
