Applying Swarm Optimization Techniques to Calculate Execution Time for Software Modules

Abstract—This research aims to calculate the execution time for software modules, using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization (PPSO), in order to calculate the proper time. A comparison is made between MATLAB Code without Algorithm (MCWA), PSO and PPSO to figure out the time produced when executing any software module. The proposed algorithms which include the PPSO increase the speed of executing the algorithm itself, in order to achieve quick results. This research introduces the proposed architecture to calculate execution time and uses MATLAB to implement MCWA, PSO and PPSO. The results show that PPSO algorithm is more efficient in speed and time compared to MCWA and PSO algorithm for calculating the execution time
