Abstract
Genetic algorithms play an important role in solving many optimisation problems. The paper concentrates on the design of a parallel genetic algorithm for obtaining acceptable and possibly good university timetables. Some known parallelisation techniques are introduced and the chosen implementation using MPI platform is shown. The master-slave management structure is assumed and the system scalability and the solution quality as function of the processing node number and population size are estimated
