Differential Evolution (DE) is an algorithm to solve possibly nonlinear and non-differentiable global optimization problems. Classical Differential Evolution (CDE) employs a synchronous generation-based evolution strategy. We propose a modification of the CDE algorithm by incorporating mutation, crossover and selection operations into an asynchronous strategy. A novel Asynchronous Differential Evolution (ADE) is well suited for parallel optimization. Moreover even in the sequential mode its rate of convergence is competitive to CDE. The performance of the Asynchronous Differential Evolution is reported on a set of benchmark functions.
