Parallel Ranking and Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Winter Simulation Conference serves as the initial publication venue for many advances in ranking and selection (R&S), including the recently-developed R&S procedures that exploit high-performance parallel computing. We formulate a new stylized model for representing parallel R&S procedures, and we provide an overview of existing R&S procedures under the stylized model. We also discuss why designing R&S procedures for a parallel computing platform is nontrivial and speculate on the future of parallel R&S procedures. In this chapter, “parallel computing” means multiple processors that can execute distinct simulations independently, rather than vector or array processors designed to speed up vector-matrix calculations.

Fully Sequential Procedures for Large-Scale Ranking-and-Selection Problems in Parallel Computing Environments
Fully sequential ranking-and-selection (R&S) procedures to find the best from a finite set of simulated alternatives are often designed to be implemented on a single processor. However, parallel computing environments, such as multi-core personal computers and many-core servers, are becoming ubiquitous and easily accessible for ordinary users. In this paper, we propose two types of fully sequen...
متن کاملGroups performance ranking based on inefficiency sharing
In the real world there are groups which composed of independent units. The conventional data envelopment analysis(DEA) model treats groups as units, ignoring the operation of individual units within each group.The current paper, investigates parallel system network approach proposed by Kao and modifies it. As modied Kao' model is more eligible to recognize ecient groups, a new ranking method i...
متن کاملSupplier selection using compromise ranking and outranking methods
In today’s highly competitive manufacturing environment, an effective supplier selection process is very important for the success of any business organization. Selection of the best supplier is always a difficult task for the purchasing manager. Suppliers have varied strengths and weaknesses which require careful assessment by the purchasing manager before selecting and ranking them. Any suppl...
متن کاملFrom Sequential Algorithm Selection to Parallel Portfolio Selection
In view of the increasing importance of hardware parallelism, a natural extension of per-instance algorithm selection is to select a set of algorithms to be run in parallel on a given problem instance, based on features of that instance. Here, we explore how existing algorithm selection techniques can be effectively parallelized. To this end, we leverage the machine learning models used by exis...
متن کاملEvaluation and ranking of suppliers with fuzzy DEA and PROMETHEE approach
Supplier selection is a multi-Criteria problem. This study proposes a hybrid model for supporting the suppliers’ selection and ranking. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the suppliers where each supplier has multiple Inputs and Outputs. First, the supplier evaluation problem is formulated by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), since the regarded decision deals with uncertai...
