Abstract: A method of determining placement of nozzles within a fire suppression system comprising: determining a geometry of a room in response to a floor plan; determining a type of fire suppression agent required in response to at least one of articles in the room and hazards in the room; determining an amount of fire suppression agent required in response to at least one of the articles in the room, hazards in the room, the geometry of the room, average temperature in the room, and average pressure within the room; and determining a number of nozzles, a type of each of the nozzles, a location of each of the nozzles within the room in response to at least the amount of fire suppression agent required.

Abstract: A method of determining placement of pipes within a fire suppression system including: obtaining a layout of nozzles within a room for a fire suppression system; determining a number of pipes, a length of each of the pipes, and a location of each of the pipes to connect each nozzle within the room to a fire suppression agent source in response to the layout of nozzles within the room; determining locations of junctions and elbows to interconnect the pipes; and determining whether the pipe, junctions, and elbows violate a piping constraint.

Abstract: A method of designing a fire suppression system including: determining nozzle placement for nozzles of a fire suppression system within a location; determining piping placement for pipes of the fire suppression system within the location; determining whether the nozzle placement or piping placement violate a constraint; and generating a map displaying the nozzle placement and the piping placement on a computing device.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method schedules a plurality of tasks for execution by a multi-processor system. A first schedule is generated that assigns each task of the plurality of tasks a time window and a processor of the multi-processor system. A contention model for the multi-processor system is queried to determine a contention delay for the assignment of tasks to processors according to the first schedule. The contention delay determined from the contention model is used to generate, from the first schedule, a revised schedule that assigns each task a time window and a processor of the multi-processor system, wherein the revised schedule is determined in dependence on the determined contention delay.

Abstract: A method of designing a fire suppression system including: generating one or more fire suppression system designs in response to building information, building requirements, and pre-defined optimization preferences; receiving a user input selection for fire suppression system parameters in real-time; refining the one or more fire suppression system designs in response to input selections for fire suppression system parameters; and receiving a user input selection for a final chosen design of the one or more fire suppression system designs.
