MNHS Algorithm
In all we take α neurons.
 We have a list of heuristic costs each corresponding to
node seen but waiting to be processed.
 We divide the cost range into α ranges equally among
them. Each of these neurons is given a particular range.
 Each neuron selects the minimum most element of the
cost range allotted to it and starts searching.
 At one step of each neuron processes its element by
searching and expanding the element.
 This process is repeated.

Set of points P <P0, P1,
P2, P3, …. Pn, Pn+1>.
P0 is the source and
Pn+1 is the goal.
X axis is the straight
line joining the source
and the goal. The Y
axis is perpendicular
All points
represented by the
individual are sorted
by their x axis values.
