A new differential evolution (DE) algorithm with a parallel hierarchical topology (HDE) is proposed. DE algorithm is widely used for solve problems with various hardeness [1]. The main goal of the paper is to study how the performance of the algorithm is influenced by the use of parallel migration model [2]. The hierarchical model has several control parameters and the influence of these parameters setting is also studied [3]. The performance of HDE algorithm is compared with non-parallel DE algorithm on the CEC2013 benchmark suite [4]. Experimental results show that the HDE outperforms the non-parallel DE algorithm significantly in 27 out of 28 test problems.
