A general approach to optimizing fast processes using a gender genetic algorithm is described. Its difference from the more traditional genetic algorithm it contains division the artificial population into two sexes. Male subpopulations undergo large mutations and more strong selection compared to female individuals from another subset. This separation allows combining the rapid adaptability of the entire population to changes due to the variation of the male subpopulation with fixation of adaptability in the female part. The advantage of the effect of additional individual learning in the form of Boldwin effect in finding optimal solutions is observed in comparison with the usual gender genetic algorithm. As a promising application of the gender genetic algorithm with the Boldwin effect, the dynamics of extinguishing natural fires is pointed.
