....for all of the subproblems to be solved before going on to the next master problem anyway. Other iterative schemes that generate numerous subproblems have a similar property. A more sophisticated Kestrel interface would be necessary, however, to deal with asynchronous decomposition schemes [22] that may solve a new master problem before all of the relevant subproblems have been received. When our script is run with the very small sample data file of Appendix B, the overhead of submitting and retrieving Kestrel jobs dominates the total elapsed time. For harder subproblems, however, we ....

....Recourse In this section, we focus our attention on two stage stochastic linear programs with recourse over a discrete scenario space, which are the subjects of our computational experiments. We discuss briefly the algorithm used in the experiments, referring the reader to Linderoth and Wright [18] for further details. The problem we consider is (2) with second stage problems defined by (3) with fixed recourse, and with a finite number K of scenarios. We thus have defined by (4) where # k defines the data vector (q k , h k , T k , W ) k = 1, 2, K. The optimality conditions ....

....Performance, Experimentation. Keywords Parallel algorithms, parallel application performance, stochastic optimization, adaptive computations, grid computing. 1. INTRODUCTION This paper develops a model for near optimal adaptive control of the state of the art stochastic optimization code ATR [18] on Grid platforms such as Condor [19] Globus [10] or Legion [13] in which the number and capabilities of the distributed hosts that execute ATR varies during the course of the computation. Stochastic optimization uses large amounts of computational resources to solve key organizational, ....
....of the algorithm (such as the time to initialize each iteration and the number of iterations to reach convergence) in ways that are not easily quantified. Furthermore, the runtime environment typically includes support functions that add unpredictable delays to task execution times. Previous work [18] in developing the ATR algorithm for Condor platforms has relied on simple task scheduling and extensive experimental measurements of total application running time as a function of (1) the average number of allocated compute nodes, and (2) the fixed (i.e. non adaptive) values of the ATR ....

....We now discuss algorithms for two stage stochastic linear programming with recourse and their implementation on the grid platform described in the previous section. A more complete discussion of these algorithms, their implementations, and computational results obtained with them can be found in [20]. Our target problem has the following form: min x Q(x) def = c T x N # i=1 p i Q i (x) subject to Ax = b, x # 0, 1) where each Q i (x) is the value function for a second stage linear program: Q i (x) def = min y(# i ) q(# i ) T y(# i ) subject to (2a) Wy(# i ) h(# i ....
