Implementation of an daptive generalized predictive control algorithm over an heterogeneous parallel architecture

In this paper a parallel implementation of an Adaprtive Generalized Predictive Control (AGPC) algorithm is presented. Since the AGPC algorithm needs to be fed with knowledge of the plant transfer function, the parallelization of a standard Recursive Least Squares (RLS) estimator and a GPC predictor is discussed here.

An efficient parallel implementation of a least squares problem

Least squares solutions are a very important problem, which appear in a broad range of disciplines (for instance, control systems, statistics, signal processing). Our interest in this kind of problems lies in their use of training neural network controllers.

Connectionist approach to PID autotuning

Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) regulators are standard building blocks for industrial automation. The popularity of these regulatores comes from their rebust performance in a wide range of operationg conditions, and also from their functional simplicity, which makes them suitable for manual tuning.
