gaffitter

Binary packing utility that uses a genetic algorithm

Genetic Algorithm File Fitter, or just GAFFitter, is a command-line software written in C++ that arranges -- via a genetic algorithm -- an input list of items or files/directories into volumes of a certain capacity (target), such as CD or DVD, in a way that the total wastage is minimized. By smartly arranging the input list, GAFFitter fits better the given items and so optimizes (reduces) the number of required volumes to pack them.
