- ItemUsing a filter-based SQP algorithm in a parallel environment(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2009-12) Venter, Gerhard; Vanderplaats, Garret N.A parallel, filter-based, sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm is implemented and tested for typical general-purpose engineering applications. Constrained engineering test problems, including a finite element simulation, with up to 512 design variables are considered. The accuracy and serial performance of the filter-based algorithm are compared against that of a standard SQP algorithm. The parallel performance of the algorithm is evaluated, using up to 52 cores on a Linux Cluster. The results indicate that the filter-based algorithm competes favorably with a standard SQP algorithm in a serial environment. However, the filter-based algorithm exhibits much better parallel efficiency due to the lack of a one dimensional search.
