In this paper a short description of the EPOCH design optimization environment will be given and results on the parallelization of the electromagnetic analysis codes based on the Bulk Synchronous Parallel approach, as well as testing of the environment using industrially relevant 2d and 3d test cases, such as the design of a microwave oven, eddy current brake, advanced accelerator magnet and thin film recording head, will be presented.
