Concurrent multi-process graph-based design component synthesis: Framework and algorithm

Facing today’s increasingly complex and high-demanded design missions, the abundant and multifarious design components distributed in different disciplines and locations should be fully considered and elaborately synthesized. However, this involves a large amount of data processing workload which heavily restrains the application and development of the traditional graph-based synthesis methods. Therefore, a concurrent multi-process graph-based design component synthesis method is proposed to break the bottleneck. With this method, the heavy workload can be dynamically and efficiently decentralized and shared in a group of processes working simultaneously and concurrently. As an application, a software prototype is presented, and the design component synthesis of a biochemical heating system is completed with it.
