Towards Parallel Implementation of Hybrid MPC—A Survey and Directions for Future Research

  • Chapter
Distributed Decision Making and Control

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences ((LNCIS,volume 417))

Abstract

In this chapter parallel implementations of hybridMPC will be discussed. Different methods for achieving parallelism at different levels of the algorithms will be surveyed. It will be seen that there are many possible ways of obtaining parallelism for hybrid MPC, and it is by no means clear which possibilities should be utilized to achieve the best possible performance. This question is a challenge for future research.
