    Bilgisayar Algoritmalarının GPU ile Hızlandırılması

    Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) is one of the significant problems in computer science which tries to find the shortest path for a salesman who needs to visit a set of cities and it involves in many computing problems such as networks, genome analysis, logistic etc. Using parallel executing paradigms, especially GPUs, is appealing in order to reduce the problem-solving time of TSP. One of the main issues in GPUs is to have limited GPU memory which would not be enough for the entire data. Therefore, transferring data from host device would reduce the performance in execution time. In this study, we present a methodology for compressing data to represent cities in the TSP so that we include more cities in GPU memory. We implement our methodology in Iterated Local Search (ILS) algorithm with 2-opt and show that our implementation presents 29% performance improvement compared to the state-of-the-art GPU implementation.

    Blokzincir Tabanlı Eşten-Eşe Enerji Ticareti Uygulamaları
    (Abdullah Gül Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2023) Seven, Serkan; Alkan, Gülay Yalçın; 0000-0003-2611-720X; AGÜ, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Elektrik ve Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Ana Bilim Dalı; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02. 04. Bilgisayar Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
    This thesis explores the potential of innovative peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading schemes for virtual power plants (VPPs) using blockchain technologies, smart contracts, and decentralized finance (DeFi) instruments. Traditional centralized approaches have limitations in terms of transparency and security, which can hinder the successful implementation and operation of VPPs and P2P energy trading systems. The dissertation begins by reviewing the current state of energy sources within the global energy landscape. Understanding the existing landscape provides valuable insights into the potential benefits and challenges of implementing P2P energy trading within VPPs. The focus of the dissertation is to develop and analyze innovative P2P energy trading schemes for VPPs that integrate blockchain technologies and facilities to enhance transparency, security, and automation of energy transactions. Furthermore, DeFi instruments, specifically decentralized exchange (DEX), are used as a novel approach instead of auction methods to determine P2P energy buying and selling prices. Along with blockchain technologies, optimization is used to maximize the economic benefits of peers. The sequential decision problem of the trading schemes is solved with mixed integer linear programming (MILP). In addition, machine/deep learning models are utilized to overcome the drawbacks of conventional mathematical programming like MILP. These models can accelerate the decision-making processes by learning from the optimization results obtained. Overall, frameworks for the successful integration of P2P energy trading within and among VPPs are developed to validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed P2P energy trading schemes through case studies and simulations using realistic data sets and blockchain platforms.
