DEMAND RESPONSE SYSTEM INCORPORATING A GRAPHICAL PROCESSING UNIT
First Claim
1. A demand response management processing system comprising:
- a demand response (DR) server; and
one or more DR resources connected to the DR server; and
wherein;
the DR server comprises;
a controller; and
a graphic processing unit (GPU) connected to the controller; and
wherein the GPU comprises a plurality of central processing units (CPUs); and
the one or more DR resources have components which are processed by two or more CPUs of the plurality of the CPUs, respectively.

Abstract
A system and approach for utilizing a graphical processing unit in a demand response program. A demand response server may have numerous demand response resources connected to it. The server may have a main processor and an associated memory, and a graphic processing unit connected to the main processor and memory. The graphic processing unit may have numerous cores which incorporate processing units and associated memories. The cores may concurrently process demand response information and rules of the numerous resources, respectively, and provide signal values to the main processor. The main processor may the provide demand response signals based at least partially on the signal values, to each of the respective demand response resources.
