Abstract
The ground state energy of the $\pm J$ 2-dimensional square and 3-dimensional cubic spin glasses are determined by the Genetic Algorithm. System sizes of linear dimensions 6 to 20 are considered in 2-dimensions and from 4 to 9 in 3-dimensions. We estimate that the ground state energy of the infinite system is $-1.400 \pm 0.005$ (2d) and $-1.765 \pm 0.01$ (3d) in units of J.
