Simulated Annealing Sample Clauses

Simulated Annealing. Simulated Annealing is inspired by the process of metallurgical annealing: when a metal is heated, the atoms are free to change their position randomly in the high-energy environment. By controlling how quickly the metal cools, it is possible to encourage the atoms in the metal to form in stronger, more beneficial arrangements, thus strengthening the metal. Simulated annealing works in a similar way: • An initial solution is generated and a high 'global temperature' is set. • The solution is randomly mutated to another solution by making a single change. • Acceptance of the solution depends on the temperature; if it is high, then highly random changes are possible and acceptable; if it is low, then only minor changes are possible. • The process repeats but the global temperature is steadily reduced. The result of the process is that large areas of the design space are explored early on via highly random changes, and later on only minor improvements are made. Simulated annealing follows a greedy method - it seeks to achieve a global optimum by making decisions that are locally optimum at each stage [15]. Simulated xxxxxxxxx's primary advantage is that it is very fast, but as a result it is not always as thorough as other algorithms.

Simulated Annealing. Simulated Annealing is related to Hill Climbing, but it attempts to avoid being trapped by local maxima by probabilistically being able to jump to a neighbour with a lower value if one is found. The probability of this jump to a seemingly worse design is initially quite high (>0.5) but as the number of simulations performed increases, the probability gradually decreases. The optimum design is either the one being examined at the end of the experiment when all simulations have been run or possibly an earlier one if the records of all designs are kept and there were some jumps to lower values near the end of the experiment. The DSE driver needs to know the allowed values for the design parameters, the rate at which the probability of jumping decreases along with the total number of simulations to perform, and access to the simulation results.

  • Technical Standards Applicable to a Wind Generating Plant i. Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) Capability A wind generating plant shall be able to remain online during voltage disturbances up to the time periods and associated voltage levels set forth in the standard below. The LVRT standard provides for a transition period standard and a post-transition period standard.

  • Traditional IRA-to-Xxxx XXX Conversions If you convert to a Xxxx XXX, the amount of the conversion from your Traditional IRA to your Xxxx XXX will be treated as a distribution for income tax purposes, and is includible in your gross income (except for any nondeductible contributions). Although the conversion amount generally is included in income, the 10 percent early distribution penalty tax will not apply to conversions from a Traditional IRA to a Xxxx XXX, regardless of whether you qualify for any exceptions to the 10 percent penalty tax. If you are required to take a required minimum distribution for the year, you must remove your required minimum distribution before converting your Traditional IRA.

  • Infrastructure Vulnerability Scanning Supplier will scan its internal environments (e.g., servers, network devices, etc.) related to Deliverables monthly and external environments related to Deliverables weekly. Supplier will have a defined process to address any findings but will ensure that any high-risk vulnerabilities are addressed within 30 days.

  • Unbundled Channelization (Multiplexing) 5.7.1 To the extent NewPhone is purchasing DS1 or DS3 or STS-1 Dedicated Transport pursuant to this Agreement, Unbundled Channelization (UC) provides the optional multiplexing capability that will allow a DS1 (1.544 Mbps) or DS3 (44.736 Mbps) or STS-1 (51.84 Mbps) Network Elements to be multiplexed or channelized at a BellSouth central office. Channelization can be accomplished through the use of a multiplexer or a digital cross-connect system at the discretion of BellSouth. Once UC has been installed, NewPhone may request channel activation on a channelized facility and BellSouth shall connect the requested facilities via COCIs. The COCI must be compatible with the lower capacity facility and ordered with the lower capacity facility. This service is available as defined in NECA 4.
