A new method to operate machine model and beam simulation programs for accelerator control has been developed. Existing methods, although cumbersome, have been used in control systems for commissioning and operation of many machines. We developed GENI, a generalized graphical interface to these programs for model-based control. This “object-oriented”-like environment is described and some typic...

The Booster Operation Optimization Sequential Time-series for Regression (BOOSTR) dataset was created to provide a cycle-by-cycle time series of readings and settings from instruments controllable devices the Booster, Fermilab’s Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) operating at 15 Hz. BOOSTR provides 55 device that pertain most directly high-precision regulation Booster’s gradient magnet power suppl...

Tuning and controlling particle accelerators is time consuming and expensive. Inherently nonlinear, the control problem is one to which conventional methods cannot satisfactorily be applied. Advanced information technologies such as expert systems and neural networks have been applied separately to the problem, with isolated success. Few, if any, of these advanced information technologies have ...

this paper presents a cooperative control which is applied to the secondary control of a microgrid controlled via a multi-agent scheme. balancing power that leads to voltage and frequency stability in a microgrid is essential. the voltage and frequency regulations are limiting within the specified limits and conveying them to their nominal values. limiting and conveying the voltage and frequenc...

Many new accelerator projects are purchasing complex components as turn-key systems rather than building them in-house. If not managed efficiently this can cause problems in integrating these components with the global accelerator control system. Having these components delivered with a ’foreign’ control system can cause performance bottlenecks and problems of maintenance. Later replacing these...

We advocate the use of high-level OS abstractions in heterogeneous systems, such as CPU-GPU hybrids. We suggest the idea of an inter-device shared file system (IDFS) for such architectures. The file system provides a unified storage space for seamless data sharing among processors and accelerators via a standard wellunderstood interface. It hides the asymmetric nature of CPU-accelerator interac...
