--This paper develops a parallel evolutionary algorithm based design unification of linear control systems in both the time and the frequency domains under performance satisfactions. A speedup of near-linear pipelinability is observed for the parallelism implemented on a network of transputers of Parsytec SuperCluster. The approach is capable of tackling practical constraints such as actuator saturation or transportation delays, and can be automated by efficient evolution from plant step response data, bypassing the system identification or linearization stage. Intelligently guided by the evolutionary optimization, control engineers are able to obtain an optimal "off-the-computer" controller by feeding the developed CACSD system with plant I/O data and customer specifications, without the need of formulating a differentiable performance index or linearly parameterization.Validation results against linear and nonlinear physical plants are convincing, with excellent closedloop responses and good robustness in the presence of practical constraints and perturbations.2
