A New Approach to Designing Efficient Software Systems for High-Performance Computing Based on Life Cycle Analysis

Received on 13.11.2024
Accepted on 17.12.2024

A new approach to designing effective software systems is proposed. In this case, efficiency improvement means minimizing any costs associated with a software system at various stages of the life cycle, including the cost of developing, modifying and operating a software system, and effective software systems are those systems that, among other systems designed to achieve a similar result, are associated with minimal costs at all stages the life cycle. The development stage is analyzed in detail, a comparison of the traditional approach to the design of software systems and the proposed new approach is carried out. The proposed approach to the design and modification of software systems is implemented for the task of developing algorithms for computationally complex procedures, which made it possible to reduce the number of iterations of software system development by 2-3 times, while reducing the time required to complete these iterations.
Keywords: design methodologies, software system efficiency, high-performance computing, HPC, lifecycle, iterative methodologies, incremental methodologies
