the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is an increasingly popular approach for solving fluid flows in a wide range of applications. the LBM yields regular, data-parallel computations;hence, it is especially well fitted to massively parallel hardware such as graphics processing units (GPU). Up to now, though, single-GPU implementations of the LBM are of moderate practical interest since the on-board memory of GPU-based computing devices is too scarce for large scale simulations. In this paper, we present a multi-GPU LBM solver based on the well-known D3Q19 MRT model. Using appropriate hardware, we managed to run our program on six Tesla C1060 computing devices in parallel. We observed up to 2.15 x 10(9) node updates per second for the lid-driven cubic cavity test case. It is worth mentioning that such a performance is comparable to the one obtained with large high performance clusters or massively parallel supercomputers. Our solver enabled us to perform high resolution simulations for large Reynolds numbers without facing numerical instabilities. though, we could observe symmetry breaking effects for long-extended simulations of unsteady flows. We describe the different levels of precision we implemented, showing that these effects are due to round off errors, and we discuss their relative impact on performance. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

A novel optimization algorithm by combining the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm and the sequential quadratic programming (SQP), that is the gradient based ABC algorithm, is presented to resolve the problems of global optimization and inter-area oscillations damping in power system. the proposed algorithm merges the global exploration ability of the artificial bee colony to converge quickly to a near optimum resolution, and the correct local exploitation capacity of the sequential quadratic programming to accelerate the search process and discover a correct solution. To show the feasibility and efficiency of the new method, numerical result is investigated on the New England system by tuning a power system stabilizer and a controller for the static VAR compensator. the proposed gradient based ABC algorithm is compared with ABC. the simulations studies demonstrate that the proposed algorithm based designed damping controllers perform better than controller designed by ABC.

this paper presents an approach to sigma multi-objective optimization particle swarm (σ-MOPSO) technique for optimal allocation of Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices. For this study, Static Var Compensator (SVC) is selected as a compensation device. Proposal σ-MOPSO technique has been implemented to minimize the transmission losses and the cost of investment in the system. Simulations performed on standard IEEE RTS 30-bus and IEEE 118-bus RTS. Results are compared withthose obtained from the programming of multi-objective evolutionary technique (MOEP) in order to highlight its advantages.

this paper presents the study of an optimization technique that is developed to locate the optimal location and the size (power rating) of Distributed Generation (DG) for its installation to a distribution system. the type of the chosen DG is photovoltaic (PV). In this study, the author proposes the new technique called Swarm Evolutionary (SEP) technique where the concept of applying and substituting the concept of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in some part of Evolutionary programming (EP) is applied on IEEE 69 radial bus distribution system. the result is then compared withthe result from classic EP and Artificial Immune System (AIS). the objective is to minimize overall system power loss and improving voltage profile. the proposed optimization technique is developed under MATLAB programming. Test results indicate that Swarm EP technique can reduce the total system loss and improve the voltage profile better than EP and AIS for the distribution system under various loading conditions.

Easy, available and inexpensive modules like digital radio or modems and sensors allow the practical understanding of communication technology. We present a Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) Internet platform for teaching digital and wireless communications. Our experience showed that teaching embedded systems by building a realistic system is most convincing for students as it shows theory applied and engages students better then a more theoretical approach. We created an Internet platform development environment and a Blimp UAV that introduced wireless and digital communication systems, realtime OS and embedded networking concepts.

this paper introduced a new swarm based optimization technique for tuning Power System Stabilizer (PSS) that attached to a synchronous generator in a single machine infinite bus (SMIB) system. PSS which is installed with Lead-Lag (LL) controller is introduced to elevate the damping capability of the generator in the low frequency mode. For tuning three PSS-LL parameters, a new Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique called Iteration PSO (IPSO) is proposed. In this method, a new iteration best index is implemented into conventional PSO in order to enhance the quality of the solution. Based on eigenvalues and damping ratio results, it is confirmed that the proposed technique is more efficient than conventional PSO in improving the angle stability of the system. Comparison between IPSO, PSO and Evolutionary programming (EP) optimization techniques showed that the proposed computation approach give better solution and faster computation time.
