This paper Presents the geoacoustic inversion with Parallel Multi-Population Genetic Algorithm (PMPGA). This method is the modified form of simple genetic algorithm (SGA), which is devised for complementing the defects of simple genetic algorithm. The light bulb source and vertical line array (VLA) receiver are used for geoacoustic inversion. The results of this study show the geoacoustic Parameters can be estimated by PMPGA and the proposed algorithm is 1.7 times as fast as serial one on an average.
