A new approach to secure economic power dispatch
This article presents a new nonlinear convex network flow programming model and algorithm for solving the on-line economic power dispatch with N and Nā1 security. Based on the load flow equations, a new nonlinear convex network flow model for secure economic power dispatch is set up and then transformed into a quadratic programming model, in which the search direction in the space of the flow variables is to be solved. The concept of maximum basis in a network flow graph was introduced so that the constrained quadratic programming model was changed into an unconstrained quadratic programming model which was then solved by the reduced gradient method. The proposed model and its algorithm were examined numerically with an IEEE 30-bus test system on an ALPHA 400 Model 610 machine. Satisfactory results were obtaine

Computer assisted mathematical programming
A Computer Assisted Mathematical Programming (Modelling) System (CAMPS) is described in this paper. The system uses program generator techniques for model creation and contrasts with earlier approaches which use a special purpose language to construct models. Thus no programming skill is required to formulate a model. In designing the system we have first analysed the salient components of the mathematical programming activity. A mathematical programming model is usually constructed by progressive definition of dimensions, data tables, model variables, model constraints and the matrix coefficients which connect the last two entities. Computer assistance is provided to structure the data and the resulting model in the above sequence. In addition to this novel feature and the automatic documentation facility, the system is in line with recent developments, and incorporates a friendly and flexible user interface
OpenCL + OpenSHMEM Hybrid Programming Model for the Adapteva Epiphany Architecture
There is interest in exploring hybrid OpenSHMEM + X programming models to
extend the applicability of the OpenSHMEM interface to more hardware
architectures. We present a hybrid OpenCL + OpenSHMEM programming model for
device-level programming for architectures like the Adapteva Epiphany many-core
RISC array processor. The Epiphany architecture comprises a 2D array of
low-power RISC cores with minimal uncore functionality connected by a 2D mesh
Network-on-Chip (NoC). The Epiphany architecture offers high computational
energy efficiency for integer and floating point calculations as well as
parallel scalability. The Epiphany-III is available as a coprocessor in
platforms that also utilize an ARM CPU host. OpenCL provides good functionality
for supporting a co-design programming model in which the host CPU offloads
parallel work to a coprocessor. However, the OpenCL memory model is
inconsistent with the Epiphany memory architecture and lacks support for
inter-core communication. We propose a hybrid programming model in which
OpenSHMEM provides a better solution by replacing the non-standard OpenCL
extensions introduced to achieve high performance with the Epiphany
architecture. We demonstrate the proposed programming model for matrix-matrix
multiplication based on Cannon's algorithm showing that the hybrid model
addresses the deficiencies of using OpenCL alone to achieve good benchmark
performance.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, OpenSHMEM 2016: Third workshop on OpenSHMEM and
