This paper presents several strategies for parallel implementations of the Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) and the Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) applied to a combinatorial optimization problem known as the Traveling Purchaser Problem (TPP). Parallel algorithms based on master-worker, completely distributed and independent models, using static and dynamic load balance were proposed. The performance of these parallel algorithms was analyzed comparing them among themselves and with their sequential versions.
