Performance Evaluation of Direct Algorithm in Parallel Optimization for a Thermohydrodynamic Lubrication Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
In this study the optimization is illustrated by maximizing the load-carrying capacity of a slider bearing represented by a thermohydrodynamic lubrication model. An efficient optimization scheme, DIviding RECTangles (DIRECT), is coded for parallel computing in a single-system image cluster. The main focus of this study was to examine the performance of the standard DIRECT algorithm in coarse-grained parallelism. The parallel efficiency is compared with the results obtained in recent studies of air bearing optimization by using a genetic algorithm and a divide-and-conquer scheme. It was found that the limited possibility for parallelism of the standard DIRECT algorithm contributes somewhat small parallel efficiency.

Over the past few decades great efforts were made to solve uncertain hybrid optimization problems. The n-Queen problem is one of such problems that many solutions have been proposed for. The traditional methods to solve this problem are exponential in terms of runtime and are not acceptable in terms of space and memory complexity. In this study, parallel genetic algorithms are proposed to solve...
