Numerical computation on GPU has become easily accessible and offers good computation power for relatively little cost. Recently an application of Newton-Raphson method for analyzing power flow in multi-terminal high-voltage direct current (HVDC) networks was proposed and shown to have good results on five terminal grids.Since this method involves costly matrix operation, especially the inverse, increasing the number of terminals in the grid yields prohibitively large execution times in sequential operation.To address this issue, we adjust the algorithm so that it benefits from parallel computation and test our approach on recent GPU from NVidia. We give experimental results for grids up to few thousand terminals and show that execution time is still acceptable for real applications. We also provide some benchmarks of the GPU computation compared with other platforms.
Electronic and mobile banking is ubiquitous today. Almost everybody uses it in some form or another – typically via mobile apps or web services. And there are many suggested and implemented security means, such as SMS codes, mobile tokens and so on. The general public is led to believe that electronic security ‘is taken care of’.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
