In this assignment, you are asked to implement 2 algorithms for the Travelling Salesman
Problem. This document explains the operations in detail, so you do not need previous
knowledge. You are encouraged to start this as soon as possible. Historically, as the deadline nears, the queue times on Barkla grow as more submissions are tested. You are also
encouraged to use your spare time in the labs to receive help, and clarify any queries you
have regarding the assignment.
1 The Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP)
The travelling salesman problem is a problem that seeks to answer the following question:
‘Given a list of vertices and the distances between each pair of vertices, what is the shortest
possible route that visits each vertex exactly once and returns to the origin vertex?’.
(a) A fully connected graph (b) The shortest route around all vertices
Figure 1: An example of the travelling salesman problem
The travelling salesman problem is an NP-hard problem, that meaning an exact solution
cannot be solved in polynomial time. However, there are polynomial solutions that can
be used which give an approximation of the shortest route between all vertices. In this
assignment you are asked to implement 2 of these.
1.1 Terminology
We will call each point on the graph the vertex. There are 6 vertices in Figure 1.
We will call each connection between vertices the edge. There are 15 edges in Figure 1.z
We will call two vertices connected if they have an edge between them.
The sequence of vertices that are visited is called the tour. The tour for Figure 1(b) is
(1, 3, 5, 6, 4, 2, 1). Note the tour always starts and ends at the origin vertex.
A partial tour is a tour that has not yet visited all the vertices.

Each line is a coordinate for a vertex, with the x and y coordinate being separated by a
comma. You will need to convert this into a distance matrix.

2.2 Cheapest Insertion
The cheapest insertion algorithm begins with two connected vertices in a partial tour. Each
step, it looks for a vertex that hasn’t been visited, and inserts it between two connected
vertices in the tour, such that the cost of inserting it between the two connected vertices is
minimal.
These steps can be followed to implement the cheapest insertion algorithm. Assume that the
indices i, j, k etc. are vertex labels, unless stated otherwise. In a tiebreak situation, always
pick the lowest index or indices.
1. Start off with a vertex vi
.
Figure 5: Step 1 of Cheapest Insertion
2. Find a vertex vj such that the dist(vi
, vj ) is minimal, and create a partial tour (vi
, vj
, vi)
Figure 6: Step 2 of Cheapest Insertion
3. Find two connected vertices (vn, vn+1), where n is a position in the partial tour, and
vk that has not been visited. Insert vk between vn and vn+1 such that dist(vn, vk) +
dist(vn+1, vk) − dist(vn, vn+1) is minimal.

2.3 Farthest Insertion
The farthest insertion algorithm begins with two connected vertices in a partial tour. Each
step, it checks for the farthest vertex not visited from any vertex within the partial tour, and
then inserts it between two connected vertices in the partial tour where the cost of inserting
it between the two connected vertices is minimal.

These steps can be followed to implement the farthest insertion algorithm. Assume that the
indices i, j, k etc. are vertex labels unless stated otherwise. In a tiebreak situation, always
pick the lowest index(indices).
1. Start off with a vertex vi
.
Figure 10: Step 1 of Farthest Insertion
2. Find a vertex vj such that dist(vi
, vj ) is maximal, and create a partial tour (vi
, vj
, vi).

3. For each vertex vn in the partial tour, where n is a position in the partial tour, find an
unvisited vertex vk such that dist(vn, vk) is maximal.

4. Insert vk between two connected vertices in the partial tour vn and vn+1, where n is
a position in the partial tour, such that dist(vn, vk) + dist(vn+1, vk) − dist(vn, vn+1) is
minimal.

3 Running your programs
Your program should be able to be ran like so:
./<program name >. exe <c o o r d i n a t e f i l e n a m e > <o u t p u t fil e n am e >
Therefore, your program should accept a coordinate file, and an output file as arguments.
Note that C considers the first argument as the program executable.
Both implementations should read a coordinate file, run either cheapest insertion or farthest
insertion, and write the tour to the output file.
3.1 Provided Code
You are provided with code that can read the coordinate input from a file, and write the
final tour to a file. This is located in the file coordReader.c. You will need to include this
file when compiling your programs.
The function readNumOfCoords() takes a filename as a parameter and returns the number
of coordinates in the given file as an integer.
The function readCoords() takes the filename and the number of coordinates as parameters,
and returns the coordinates from a file and stores it in a two-dimensional array of doubles,
where coords[i ][0] is the x coordinate for the ith coordinate, and coords[i ][1] is the y
coordinate for the ith coordinate.
The function writeTourToFile() takes the tour, the tour length, and the output filename
as parameters, and writes the tour to the given file.

4 Instructions
• Implement a serial solution for the cheapest insertion and the farthest insertion. Name
these: cInsertion.c, fInsertion.c.
• Implement a parallel solution, using OpenMP, for the cheapest insertion and the farthest insertion. Name these: ompcInsertion.c, ompfInsertion.c.
• Create a Makefile and call it ”Makefile” which performs as the list states below. Without the Makefile, your code will not grade on CodeGrade (see more in section 5.1).
– make ci compiles cInsertion.c and coordReader.c into ci.exe with the GNU compiler
– make fi compiles fInsertion.c and coordReader.c into fi.exe with the GNU compiler
– make comp compiles ompcInsertion.c and coordReader.c into comp.exe with the
GNU compiler
– make fomp compiles ompfInsertion.c and coordReader.c into fomp.exe with the
GNU compiler
– make icomp compiles ompcInsertion.c and coordReader.c into icomp.exe with
the Intel compiler
– make ifomp compiles ompfInsertion.c and coordReader.c into ifomp.exe the Intel
compiler.
• Test each of your parallel solutions using 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and ** threads, recording
the time it takes to solve each one. Record the start time after you read from the
coordinates file, and the end time before you write to the output file. Do all testing
with the large data file.
• Plot a speedup plot with the speedup on the y-axis and the number of threads on the
x-axis for each parallel solution.
• Plot a parallel efficiency plot with parallel efficiency on the y-axis and the number of
threads on the x-axis for each parallel solution.
• Write a report that, for each solution, using no more than 1 page per solution,
describes: your serial version, and your parallelisation strategy
• In your report, include: the speedup and parallel efficiency plots, how you conducted
each measurement and calculation to plot these, and sreenshots of you compiling and
running your program. These do not contribute to the page limit

– ompcInsertion.c
– ompfInsertion.c
– report.pdf
5 Hints
You can also parallelise the conversion of the coordinates to the distance matrix.
When declaring arrays, it’s better to use dynamic memory allocation. You can do this by...
int ∗ o n e d a r ra y = ( int ∗) malloc ( numOfElements ∗ s i z e o f ( int ) ) ;
For a 2-D array:
int ∗∗ twod a r ra y = ( int ∗∗) malloc ( numOfElements ∗ s i z e o f ( int ∗ ) ) ;
for ( int i = 0 ; i < numOfElements ; i ++){
twod a r ra y [ i ] = ( int ∗) malloc ( numOfElements ∗ s i z e o f ( int ) ) ;
}
5.1 Makefile
You are instructed to use a MakeFile to compile the code in any way you like. An example
of how to use a MakeFile can be used here:
{make command } : { t a r g e t f i l e s }
{compile command}
c i : c I n s e r t i o n . c coordReader . c
gcc c I n s e r t i o n . c coordReader . c −o c i . exe −lm
Now, in the Linux environment, in the same directory as your Makefile, if you type ‘make ci‘,
the compile command is automatically executed. It is worth noting, the compile command
must be indented. The target files are the files that must be present for the make command
to execute.
