Abstract:This paper presents a new heuristic algorithm for the Multiple-Choice Multi-Dimension Knapsack Problem (MMKP) in PRAM model. MMKP is a variant of the classical 0-1 knapsack problem, has a knapsack with multidimensional capacity constraints, groups of items, each item having a utility value and multidimensional resource constraints. The problem is to maximize the total value of the items in the knapsack with the constraint of not exceeding the knapsack capacity. Since MMKP is an NP-Hard problem, its exact solution is not suitable for real time problems, so heuristic based approximation algorithms are developed. We present a parallel heuristic algorithm here that runs in O(log nl(log n + log m + log log l)) time in CRCW PRAM machine; taking O(n log n(log n + ml)) operations. Experimental results show that it achieves 95% optimal solution on average.
