Design, analysis and implementation of bulk-synchronous parallel algorithms, data structures and techniques by Siniolkis, C

“…<p>The objective of this thesis is the unified investigation of a wide range of fundamental parallel methods that are transportable amongst pragmatic parallel machines having different number of processors, different periodicity of global synchronization and different bandwidth of inter-processor communication. The computational model adopted is the bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) model, which abstracts the characteristics of parallel machines into three numerical parameters <em>p</em>, <em>L</em> and <em>g</em>, that quantify, respectively, processors, periodicity and bandwidth - the model differentiates memory that is local to a processor from memory that is non-local, yet, for the sake of universality, does not differentiate network proximity. …”

Distribution of transient overvoltage in wind turbine systems under direct lightning strikes by Ahmed, Rebaz Jamal

“…Wind turbines are tall structures, and the reflections of a direct lightning at various interfaces have a significant effect on the voltage distribution; hence they should be taken into account in the computation models. Thus, this thesis contains a brief introduction to lightning, lightning discharge process and the consequences of a direct lightning strike to an elevated structure (such as a wind turbine), an analysis on the effects of overvoltage produced by electromagnetic environment, and the effects of the reflections. …”
