– Design and conduct experiments to test isoperformance tuning using real<br />

• Application<br />

hardware data and an uncertainty model.<br />

– Explore alternate optimization algorithms for application to problems of<br />

this type in order to decrease computational effort required for tailoring<br />

optimizations. Implement reduced-order modeling or response-surface ap-<br />

proximations.<br />

– Explore the possibility of conducting gradient-based optimizations on high-<br />

fidelity integrated models. Consider the complex-step derivative approxi-<br />

mation [80] to avoid step-size limitations associated <strong>with</strong> a finite difference<br />

approach. Investigate use of FEM packages such as NASTRAN to obtain<br />

the necessary gradients.<br />
