1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • simulating, using the computer, a first power supply design variables selected from a plurality of lists of power supply design variables;

    calculating, using the computer, a score of the first power supply design;

    determining, using the computer, whether the score of the first power supply design is better than a score of any power supply design included in a set of power supply designs; and

    if so replacing, using the computer, a power supply design having a worst score from the set of power supply designs with the first power supply design, wherein the first power supply design is one of a plurality of power supply designs, the method further comprising;

    repeating the simulating, the calculating, the determining and the replacing for each of the plurality of power supply designs, wherein the plurality of power supply designs includes a plurality of combinations of power supply design variables selected from the plurality of lists of power supply design variables, wherein each of the plurality of power supply designs includes a first output and a second output, wherein the plurality of lists of power supply design variables includes a first and second list of power supply design variables corresponding to the first output and a third and fourth list of power supply design variables corresponding to the second output, wherein the plurality of combinations of power supply design variables includes every possible combination of single power supply variables corresponding to the first output combined with every possible combination of single power supply variables corresponding to the second output.
