Title: Compiling software for a hierarchical distributed processing system

Abstract

Compiling software for a hierarchical distributed processing system including providing to one or more compiling nodes software to be compiled, wherein at least a portion of the software to be compiled is to be executed by one or more nodes; compiling, by the compiling node, the software; maintaining, by the compiling node, any compiled software to be executed on the compiling node; selecting, by the compiling node, one or more nodes in a next tier of the hierarchy of the distributed processing system in dependence upon whether any compiled software is for the selected node or the selected node's descendents; sending to the selected node only the compiled software to be executed by the selected node or selected node's descendent.

Hierarchal framework for integrating distributed energy resources into distribution systems

Patent Lian, Jianming; Kalsi, Karanjit; Wu, Di; ...

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for providing a hierarchical framework for integrating distributed energy resources into power distribution systems. In one example of the disclosed technology, a method implemented with an aggregation server includes receiving a respective utility function associated with each of at least two of a plurality of distributed energy resources representing an amount of energy produced or consumed by the respective associated distributed energy resource as a function of energy price, producing an aggregated utility function associated with the plurality of distributed energy resources based on the received utility functions, transmitting the produced aggregated utility function tomore » « less

Hierarchical power distribution in large scale computing systems

Patent Chen, Xinwei; de Paula Rosa Piga, Leonardo

Techniques for managing power distribution amongst processors in a massively parallel computer architecture are disclosed. The techniques utilize a hierarchy that organizes the various processors of the massively parallel computer architecture. The hierarchy groups numbers of the processors at the lowest level. When processors complete tasks, the power assigned to those processors is distributed to other processors in the same group so that the performance of those processors can be increased. Hierarchical organization simplifies the calculations required for determining how and when to distribute power, because when tasks are complete and power is available for distribution, a relatively small numbermore » « less

Systems, methods, and software for determining spatially variable distributions of the dielectric properties of a heterogeneous material

Patent Farrington, Stephen P.

Systems, methods, and software for measuring the spatially variable relative dielectric permittivity of materials along a linear or otherwise configured sensor element, and more specifically the spatial variability of soil moisture in one dimension as inferred from the dielectric profile of the soil matrix surrounding a linear sensor element. Various methods provided herein combine advances in the processing of time domain reflectometry data with innovations in physical sensing apparatuses. These advancements enable high temporal (and thus spatial) resolution of electrical reflectance continuously along an insulated waveguide that is permanently emplaced in contact with adjacent soils. The spatially resolved reflectance ismore » « less

Hierarchical distributed voltage regulation

Patent Zhou, Xinyang; Zhao, Changhong; Liu, Zhiyuan; ...

Embodiments of the disclosure provide for hierarchically distributed voltage regulation and power flow optimization in a power distribution network. According to one embodiment, a regional coordinator system may determine power flow for an autonomous grid (AG) representing a portion of the distribution network based on a set of voltage parameters from nodes in the AG. The set of voltage parameters my include a current voltage magnitude. The regional coordinator system may provide, to a central controller system of the distribution network, one or more power flow parameters based on the determined power flow for the AG.
