However, it is generally difficult to handle the problems of resource management and convergence detection. This paper uses JACK2, an asynchronous communication kernel library for iterative algorithms, to implement both classical and asynchronous parareal algorithms, especially the latter. We illustrate the measures whereby one can tackle the problems above elegantly for the time-dependent case. Finally, experiments are presented to prove the availability and efficiency of such application.","PeriodicalId":446641,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th International Symposium on Distributed Computing and Applications to Business, Engineering and Science (DCABES)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134371345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several theoretical and managerial implications are derived from these findings.","PeriodicalId":446641,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th International Symposium on Distributed Computing and Applications to Business, Engineering and Science (DCABES)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124710216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the existing MDO algorithms, this paper presents a unified framework for formulating and solving the multidisciplinary optimization problem with various MDO methods in an efficient, simple and friendly manner. A multidisciplinary descriptive language is also proposed at the same time for the unified framework. The framework is designed to make researchers focus on the multidisciplinary optimization problem, rather than on algorithms implementation and software programming. Using the unified framework, researchers can solve the multidisciplinary optimization problem by creating a configuration file without any coding. The framework has integrated a variety of MDO architectures and also provides interface for other developers to add new optimization algorithm. Furthermore, examples demonstrate the usage of the framework as well as the advantages of the unified framework.","PeriodicalId":446641,"journal":{"name":"2017 16th International Symposium on Distributed Computing and Applications to Business, Engineering and Science (DCABES)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123583390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
