Abstrakt: The Multi-point Approximation Method (MAM) replaces an optimization problem by a sequence of approximate ones. The corresponding approximate response functions are sample and often explicit in terms of the design variables. Each step of the Optimization process involves several implicit function evaluations before identification of the approximation functions by weighted least-squares fitting takes place. The present paper addresses alternative planning of implicit function evaluations in order to enhance both robustness and efficiency in parallel computer environments, especially heterogeneous networks.
