Abstract
This paper presents a novel high performance computational (HPC) framework for multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of aero-craft shapes by using “Grid computing” technology. In this HPC framework, MDO computation is completed by using a genetic algorithm based optimization code and some performance evaluation codes. All those codes in the HPC system are named as “Grid Services” independently. The HPC framework can run on various computers with various platforms, through which computer resources are provided to the designers in the form of services, no matter where those computers are located. Based on this HPC framework the MDO process can be performed interactively. To demonstrate the ability of this HPC framework, a conceptual aero-craft optimization case was described.
