Implementation of a Grid Computation Toolkit for Design Optimisation with Matlab and Condor

چکیده
The process of design search and optimisation is characterised by its computationally intensive operations, which produce a problem well suited to Grid computing. Here we present a Grid enabled computation toolkit that provides transparent and stable access to Grid compute resources from Matlab, which offers comprehensive support for the design optimisation processes. In particular, the access and integration of the Condor resource management system has been achieved by using the toolkit components that are enabled by Web service and service enhancement technologies. The use of the computation toolkit for a four-dimensional CFD parameter study with Matlab and Condor is considered as an exemplar problem.
