The paper is concerned with global optimization techniques and their parallel implementation. We describe an integrated software platform GOOL-PV (Global Optimization Object-oriented Library-Parallel Version) that provides the tools for solving complex optimization problems on parallel and multi-core computers or computer clusters. Finally, we present the comparative study of sequential and parallel global optimization algorithms based on numerical results for a standard set of multimodal functions.
