The SICE Annual Conference 2016, organized by the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE), will be held September 20-23, 2016, at Tsukuba International Congress Center, Tsukuba, JAPAN. The SICE Annual Conference 2016 is an international conference covering a broad range of fields from measurement and control to system analysis and design, from theory to application, and from so ware to hardware. The technical program of SICE 2016 will consist of plenary and invited talks, tutorial courses, and workshops, as well as oral and interactive sessions.
Talk/Lecture 2: High performance computing and control for geophysics, smart grid, and LENR research
We report on three projects in the energy field. Two of them share another feature, large systems of FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are deployed to achieve the required performance. The first example is a 3D acoustic wave control system with 800 sensors and actuators with integrated real-time partial differential equation solvers that are executed using 400 FPGAs. Such a system is used to study geophysical phenomena. We also report on how very large power grid simulations can be conducted by an FPGA-centric architecture similar to the former one. In particular, real-time transient computations at rates of 1 MHz using many FPGSs are possible. These very fast simulations can be connected to slower (but still real-time) simulations of extensive bus-systems. We will briefly discuss an application in the field of LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reaction).
Speaker: Dr. Lothar Wenzel (National Instruments, U.S.A.)
Short Biography: Dr. Lothar Wenzel is Chief Software Architect at National Instruments in Austin, Texas.
Before coming to Austin he worked in Germany for a nuclear power plant in the field of turbine surveillance and for BASF on non-destructive testing projects. He received his Dr. rer.nat. in Mathematics, habilitation in Mathematics, and Master’s degree in Computer Science. His focus areas are large real-time systems based on FPGAs, numerical mathematics, control and simulation, image processing, and recently power grid simulations.
Thanks to Peter Gluck for having found that announce on his blog.
