The basic idea of algorithm portfolio [1] is to create a mixture of diverse algorithms that complement each other’s strength so as to solve a diverse set of problem instances. Algorithm portfolios have taken on a new and practical meaning today with the wide availability of multi-core processors: from an enterprise perspective, the interest is to make best use of parallel machines within the organization by running different algorithms simultaneously on different cores to solve a given problem instance. Parallel execution of a portfolio of algorithms as suggested by [2, 3] a number of years ago has thus become a practical computing paradigm.
