Because evolving can take much less PC resources than determining fitness, we could implement a system where Slave machines determine fitness for their population, then send their Chromosomes+Fitness back to the Master server for evolution, which then redistributes Chromosomes back to Slave machines afterward.

Example:

  1. Master creates a population of 1000
  2. Master sends 250 to each of four Slave machines
  3. Slave machines each finish determining fitness via tests / simulations / whatever
  4. Slave machines send Chromosomes+Fitness back to Master
  5. Master waits to receive entire population from all Slave machines
  6. Master performs evolution and records stats / champions / etc
  7. Repeat to Step 2

Could configure different population splits to different machines, to account for different machine capabilities (ie: Send 900 Chromosomes to a fast machine and 100 to a slow machine).
