Abstract :
A parallel genetic algorithm based master-slave module for the optimal design of the flexible multi-body model vehicle suspensions is presented. This paper tests the algorithm on the cluster system based MPI. The results show that the application of the algorithm presented in this paper is better for the optimization and also improves the efficiency of the computing time.
