Abstract :
Graphic processing units (GPUs) are single instruction, multiple data processors which have become an integral part of modern high-end video cards installed on a general purpose PCs. This paper investigates the parallel implementation of DC power flow based contingency analysis on graphic processing units. Results for the IEEE standard test systems show a speed-up of the order of 4 that grows with the system size.
