parallelism patterns (e.g., map or reduce) have proven to be effective tools for parallelizing high-performance applications. In this article, we study the recursive registration of a series of electron microscopy images - a time consuming and imbalanced computation necessary for nano-scale microscopy analysis. We show that by translating the image registration into a specific instance of the prefix scan, we can convert this seemingly sequential problem into a parallel computation that scales to over thousand of cores. We analyze a variety of scan algorithms that behave similarly for common low-compute operators and propose a novel work-stealing procedure for a hierarchical prefix scan. Our evaluation shows that by identifying a suitable and well-optimized prefix scan algorithm, we reduce time-to-solution on a series of 4,096 images spanning ten seconds of microscopy acquisition from over 10 hours to less than 3 minutes (using 1024 Intel Haswell cores), enabling derivation of material properties at nanoscale for long microscopy image series.

Unit commitment (UC) is an important problem solved on a daily basis within a strict time limit. While hourly UC is currently used, they may not be flexible enough to accommodate the growing changes of demand and the increasing penetration of intermittent renewables. Sub-hourly UC is therefore recommended. This, however, will significantly increase problem complexity even under the deterministic setting because of the considerable increase of the number of intervals, leading to the drastic increase of the numbers of system coupling constraints and binary variables as compared to that of hourly UC. Consequently, existing methods may not be able to obtain good solutions within the time limit for large problems. In this paper, deterministic sub-hourly UC is considered with an innovative exploitation of "soft constraints" constraints that do not need to be strictly satisfied but their violations are penalized by predetermined coefficients. This, in conjunction with our recent "Surrogate Absolute Value Lagrangian Relaxation" approach where the "relaxed problem" is not required to be fully optimized, facilitates the formation and resolution of a new type of subproblems where soft system coupling constraints (e.g., reserve and transmission capacity constraints) are not relaxed. This then leads to a drastic reduction of the number of multipliers, decreased computational requirements, and improved solution quality. To further enhance the speed, a parallel version is developed. Testing results based on the Polish system demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of both the sequential and parallel versions at finding high-quality solutions within the time limit.
