Parallel and Distributed Optimization in Technology Computer Aided Design

چکیده
We present the simulation environment SIESTA (SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT FOR SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY ANALYSIS) which provides facilities for time effective parallel distributed simulation. An optimization framework and its components which explore these features are described. Due to distributed simulation, the overall simulation time is drastically reduced by SIESTA. Optimizations are performed on a heterogeneous cluster of UNIX workstations. A load balancing mechanism is used for effective selection of computation hosts. An example sketches the rigorous calibration of a semiconductor device simulator MINIMOS(Simlinger et al. 1995).

متن کاملAN OPTIMAL FUZZY SLIDING MODE CONTROLLER DESIGN BASED ON PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION AND USING SCALAR SIGN FUNCTION
This paper addresses the problems caused by an inappropriate selection of sliding surface parameters in fuzzy sliding mode controllers via an optimization approach. In particular, the proposed method employs the parallel distributed compensator scheme to design the state feedback based control law. The controller gains are determined in offline mode via a linear quadratic regular. The particle ...

Often in modeling the engineering optimization design problems, the value of objective function(s) is not clearly defined in terms of design variables. Instead it is obtained by some numerical analysis such as FE structural analysis, fluid mechanic analysis, and thermodynamic analysis, etc. Yet, the numerical analyses are considerably time consuming to obtain the final value of objective functi...
