Abstract :
The speed performance of parallel computers in power system loadflow analysis is evaluated. Three commercial parallel computers, each of which has a fundamentally different architecture, are evaluated. A methodology for determining a suitable architecture for a given problem is developed. Major issues that cause performance degradation in parallel processing are discussed
