這是一個非常簡單的遺傳算法源代碼，是由Denis Cormier (North Carolina State University)開發的，Sita S.Raghavan (University of North Carolina at Charlotte)修正。代碼保證盡可能少，實際上也不必查錯。對一特定的應用修正此代碼，用戶只需改變常數的定義并且定義“評價函數”即可。注意代碼 的設計是求最大值，其中的目標函數只能取正值；且函數值和個體的適應值之間沒有區別。該系統使用比率選擇、精華模型、單點雜交和均勻變異。如果用 Gaussian變異替換均勻變異，可能得到更好的效果。代碼沒有任何圖形，甚至也沒有屏幕輸出，主要是保證在平臺之間的高可移植性。讀者可以從ftp.uncc.edu, 目錄 coe/evol中的文件prog.c中獲得。要求輸入的文件應該命名為‘gadata.txt’；系統產生的輸出文件為‘galog.txt’。輸入的 文件由幾行組成：數目對應于變量數。且每一行提供次序——對應于變量的上下界。如第一行為第一個變量提供上下界，第二行為第二個變量提供上下界，等等。
