This paper introduces BSPA, a parallel algorithm that leverages beam search to address the two-dimensional strip packing problem. The study begins with a comprehensive review of existing approaches and methodologies, followed by a detailed presentation of the BSPA algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. To facilitate further research, both the code and datasets are publicly available.
