Abstract :
An efficient parallel Simplex optimizer was developed that can on run Solaris and Linux clusters. It can optimize the result of running essentially any program or script that returns a penalty function value. We have used this optimizer with elegant to optimize the dynamic aperture of storage ring designs. This paper discusses the optimization algorithm and performance, design of penalty functions, optimization results, and applications in storage ring design.
