<br><tt><font size=2>> 2-3 PM Eastern Time (11 AM-Noon Pacific Time)</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> Description</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> Parallel computing offers a significant advance
in computing power <br>
> needed in the increasingly computationally-intensive environment of
<br>
> power system operations. This talk introduces parallel computing,
<br>
> and its need and applications in various industries including the
<br>
> electric power industry. The requirements for adopting parallel <br>
> computing will be discussed along with alternative approaches for
<br>
> high performance computing. Practical challenges faced in <br>
> transitioning from legacy systems to parallel computing <br>
> architectures will be identified. The presentation includes an <br>
> overview of different parallel computing architectures and <br>
> programming models, along with key design aspects of parallel <br>
> programming important to its adoption, such as computer load <br>
> balancing, communication, synchronization, and task granularity. It
<br>
> also explores various libraries, state-of-the-art parallel <br>
> programming languages for large-scale code development and <br>
> productivity over a few to tens of thousands of processors. </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> An example of use of parallel computing in power
system analysis is <br>
> given. Results are reported for use of a parallel power system <br>
> dynamic simulator for dynamic contingency analysis of thousands of
<br>
> contingencies in a large test system. Results are presented for <br>
> different computing architectures, and for different programming <br>
> models and programming languages. This demonstration of parallel <br>
> computing takes into account crucial design considerations such as
<br>
> computing load balancing and communication overhead.</font></tt>

<br><tt><font size=2>> Biography: Siddhartha Kumar Khaitan is a Post
Doctoral Research <br>
> Associate in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
<br>
> at Iowa State University. His research interests are in high <br>
> performance computing applications for power systems, modeling and
<br>
> simulation, renewable energy integration, and development of <br>
> detailed storage (i.e., CAES, hydrogen) models. He has authored a
<br>
> number of journal publications and edited two books. </font></tt>

<br><tt><font size=2>> Registration for Webinar Participation: None
required. There is no <br>
> charge for participating!</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> Participation by Webinar: There are several options
for participating.</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> · Recommended option:
We will be using the Adobe Connect 9 <br>
> webinar platform. You will be able to watch the presentation slides
<br>
> on your computer from the designated site </font></tt><a href=http://asu.adobeconnect.com/pserc/><tt><font size=2>http://asu.adobeconnect.com/pserc/</font></tt></a>
<br><tt><font size=2>> [asu.adobeconnect.com] and listen to the <br>
> webinar through your computer’s speakers or headphones. Click here<br>
> [pserc.wisc.edu] for the connection details and instructions for <br>
> testing your connection. If you cannot hear the presenter, check to
<br>
> make sure your speaker is not muted in Adobe Connect. It may also
be<br>
> possible to use the app “Adobe Connect™ Mobile” to participate
via <br>
> smart phone or tablet. </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> · You can also listen
to the audio over the public phone <br>
> bridge at 712-432-0800 (passcode: 937250#). Be sure to mute your <br>
> phone (press *6) so sounds in your room do not go out to the phone
<br>
> bridge with other listeners. Should you not be able to connect to
<br>
> the webinar, you can also download the slides from the PSERC website<br>
> and listen to the audio over the phone. </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> · You can watch
the archived webinar at a different time by <br>
> clicking here[mediasite.engr.wisc.edu] and then on the link for this<br>
> webinar. Note: This is also another way to watch the webinar in real-time.
</font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> Asking Questions During the Webinar: You are
invited to ask <br>
> questions or make comments during the webinar using the Adobe <br>
> Connect webconferencing platform. Just enter your question into the
Q&A box. </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> </font></tt>
<br><tt><font size=2>> Professional Development Hour Certification:
PDH certification is <br>
> available for PSERC members (only). Send an email requesting PDH <br>
> certification to pserc@asu.edu with the subject “PDH”. Include the
<br>
> name and title of each participant.</font></tt>
