Effects of Special Purpose Hardware in Scientific Computation with Emphasis on Power System Applications
Diane M. Detig · IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems · 1982
Several uses for special purpose numerical hardware for scientific applications have recently been proposed [1, 3, 6]. However, few of those innovations have yet been implemented. We discuss some of the characteristics essential for an application to effectively use a special purpose processor. We examine some power system applications and argue that their present form is not suitable for systems that include special purpose processors.
