Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate that a successful parallel implementation of CLONALG would decrease the computational burden of multiple calls to the electromagnetic solver by distributing the work load over multiple processors. The optimization of a multi-layered frequency selective surface (FSS) filter for the X-band will be presented and compared with the more traditional parallel genetic algorithm (GA) optimizer in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the parallel CLONALG implementation in the area of electromagnetics design.
