Scheduliig strategies for multiprocessor DSP are classified into four types: fully-dynamic, static-assignment, self-timed, and fully-static. The concept of static scheduling (self-timed or fullystatic) is extended to handle non-deterministic actors in the proposed quasi-static scheduling. Quasi-static scheduling minimizes run-time overhead with increased compilation complexity, thus adequate fo...

Short-term hydrothermal scheduling (STHS) can improve water use efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and increase economic benefits by optimizing the commitment dispatch of hydro thermal generating units together. However, limited large system scale complex hydraulic electrical constraints, STHS poses great challenges in modeling for operators. This paper presents an improved proximal bundle me...

Self-scheduling algorithms are useful tools for achieving load balance in heterogeneous computational systems. Therefore, they can be applied in computational Grids. In this work, we introduce two families of self-scheduling algorithms. The rst is de ned by methods looking for an explicit form for the chunks distribution function. The second corresponds to methods focusing in deriving an explic...

The three renewable energy technologies discussed in this paper are based on water, but differ markedly in terms of the size of the available potential resource, the maturity of the associated conversion technologies, the extent to which they have been exploited to date, and the current research effort being devoted to their future development. Hydro-electricity and tidal power are both very ma...

The thermal Sunyaev Zeldovich (SZ) effect directly probes the thermal energy of the universe. Its precision modeling and future high accuracy measurements will provide a powerful way to constrain the thermal history of the universe. In this paper, we focus on the precision modeling of the gas density weighted temperature T̄g and the mean SZ Compton y parameter. We run high resolution adiabatic h...
