Claim 14:
15. One or more computing devices comprising:
memory; and
a plurality of processors, each of the respective processors being configured to execute machine-readable instructions stored in the memory that cause the computing devices to perform operations for solving a Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) problem for an upcoming planning horizon of a power grid, the operations comprising:
seeding a plurality of threads with prior solutions to the SCUC problem, the plurality of threads comprising at least a first thread and a second thread associated with different classes of algorithms,
decomposing the SCUC problem into a plurality of subproblems; and
generating new solutions to the SCUC problem by concurrently executing the threads and sharing data generated by the concurrently executing among the threads, including having the first thread call the second thread as a subroutine to solve one of the subproblems.
