Abstract :
A distributed computing optimization architecture was developed by SwRI for use with numerical solvers. This optimization toolbox is very generalized and can be easily adapted to use with any numerical solver having a well-described input and output file system. In combination with the use of MATLAB, this makes it a very flexible and powerful analysis and development tool. The tool employs an optimization routine, input file modification routines to generate numerous solver input files, and output extraction routines to extract the pertinent solver output data. Specifically, advanced development has been done using the numerical electromagnetic code (NEC) ante wire/plate with dielectrics (WIPL-D), genetic algorithm optimization toolbox (GAOT) and CONDOR® to demonstrate proof-of-concept.
