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 masterslave management structure is assumed and the system scalability and the solution quality as function of the processing node number and population size are estimated.
