الملخص

This paper proposed a parallel method for solving the Agricultural Land Investment Problem (ALIP), the problem that has an important impact on the agriculture issues. The author is first represent mathematically the problem by introducing a mathematical programming model. Then, a parallel method is proposed for optimizing the problem. The proposed method based on principles of parallel computing and neighborhood search methods. Neighborhood search techniques explore a series of solutions spaces with the aim of finding the best one. This is exploited in parallel computing, where several search processes are performed simultaneously. The parallel computing is designed using Message Passing Interface (MPI) which allows to build a flexible parallel program that can be executed in multicore and/or distributed environment. The method is competitive since it is able to solve a real life problem and yield high quality results in a fast solution runtime.
