星载大容量固态存储控制器的级联编码设计

航天器大容量数据存储设备主要采用基于NAND Flash的固态存储器,但由于空间环境中单粒子翻转效应的影响,以及存储器芯片在操作过程中因为阈值电压偏移导致的位比特错误等原因,存储设备的可靠性降低。为提高数据存储设备的数据容错性,依据NAND Flash芯片物理结构和数据存储结构,具有针对性地提出RS(256,252)码+LDPC(8192,7154)码级联的纠检错并行编码设计,并优化编码算法的电路实现方法。建模仿真和地面测试系统测试结果表明:该设计具有低硬件开销、低功耗和高可靠性的优点。存储系统的数据总容量达512 Gb,有效数据吞吐率为700 Mb/s,能够满足航天器固态存储控制器对大容量数据控制和高数据吞吐量的设计需求。     

65 nm工艺双层三维静态存储器的软错误分析与评估

新兴的三维静态存储器将代替二维静态存储器被广泛用于高性能微处理器中,但它依然会受到软错误的危害。为了能够快速、自动分析多层管芯堆叠结构的三维静态存储器软错误特性,搭建了三维静态存储器软错误分析平台。利用该平台对以字线划分设计的三维静态存储器和同等规模的二维静态存储器分别进行软错误分析,并对分析结果进行对比。研究结果表明二维和三维静态存储器的翻转截面几乎相同,但三维静态存储器单个字中发生的软错误要比二维静态存储器更严重,导致难以使用纠检错技术对其进行加固。静态模式下二维和三维静态存储器敏感节点均分布于存储阵列中,表明静态模式下逻辑电路不会引发软错误。

同时拥有公用资源的多总线多处理机系统的吞吐量分析

为了回答在通常情况下多总线多处理机系统的性能问题,研制了一个离散事件仿真模型。在随机变量A(处理机处理次数)和B(处理机的存储器存取次数)的不同类型概率分布情况下分析了这个模型。对于变量A和B,利用了下列几种分布类型:指数、厄兰格(Erlang)、亚指数、超指数、正态和常数分布。仿真试验证明:变量B的系数C_B对系统性能有很大的影响,尤其是当C_B>1时。但如果A是亚指数或超指数分布,那么C_A的影响可以忽略不计。但正态分布不是这种情况。 处理能力、存储器利用率和等候处理机的百分率是我们仿真模型中使用的某些性能变量。我们已仿真了几种多处理机配置并得出结论:如果总线数等于处理机数和存储器模块数最小值的一半,则对应的总线不足系统表现为总线充足系统。很清楚,在不降低系统性能的情况下,对于需要的总线数这是一个重要的节约。

Putin – the masked nemesis of the strategy of ambiguity

Recent events demonstrate the complex and adaptive approach employed by Russia to reassert influence in Europe. The changing face of Russia’s strategy commenced in 2007 when it launched a crippling cyber-attack against Estonia. This was followed by a large Russian conventional attack against Georgia in 2008, occupying two large areas of the nation. 2014 witnessed the Russian annexation of Crimea where in just a week, Russia seized control of Crimea “without firing a shot.” The annexation of Crimea was rapidly followed by a Russian inspired and led subversive war in eastern Ukraine. The common thread among these diverse Russian operations is its use of ambiguity to confound and confuse decision makers in the West.     

India's counter-insurgency experience: the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy

The Indian Army, a force trained primarily for conventional warfare, has been engaged in internal counter-insurgency operations since the 1950s. Despite such a long innings on a counter-insurgency mode, little attention has been accorded within military circles to doctrinal innovation for waging sub-conventional warfare in India's democratic political context. At best, the Army continues to view counter-insurgency duty as secondary to its primary duty of defending India from external conventional threats. By conceptualizing a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’, this article aims to fill this critical doctrinal gap in India's military policy. The author argues that a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’ based on democratic political culture, measured military methods, special counter-insurgency forces, local social and cultural awareness and an integrative nation-building approach will result in positive handling of India's internal security problems. The author utilizes India's counter-insurgency experiences in Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab, and Operation ‘Sadhbhavana’ in Jammu and Kashmir as illustrative empirical indicants in order to validate the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy.     

An Unlikely Alliance: Portuguese and South African Airpower in Angola, 1968–1974

The war that Portugal was obliged to fight in Africa began in 1961 and immediately stretched the resources of its armed forces. Nowhere was this thinness more apparent than in policing the vast territory of Angola. The east and southeast of Angola were particularly vulnerable, as the area was a vast, sparsely populated region characterised by enormous featureless plains or chanas covered in tall grass and broken by an extensive river system and mountainous forests. The only military solution to policing these immense spaces was aviation and specifically the helicopter that could carry troops into battle, protect them with a gunship and bring them home when the operation was concluded. The immediate problem for the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa or FAP) in Angola and elsewhere was a scarcity of helicopters. The solution was an alliance with South Africa, which had a strong inventory of Alouette IIIs, to help in policing the east. This move was likewise in the interest of South Africa, as its threat came from Zambia through south-eastern Angola. This article examines the strategic and tactical development of this unusual, cross-cultural alliance and the symbiotic relationship that resulted in destruction of the enemies of both in Angola.

A Sign of Victory?: ‘Scottish Swords’ and Other Weapons in the Possession of the ‘Auld Innemie’

Many late medieval documents, notably inventories of arms and armour, of Englishmen contain references to ‘Scottish swords’ and other weapons. What did the compilers of these documents mean when they described a weapon as ‘Scottish’? How did such weapons come to be in the possession of these men? This article will attempt to explain this phenomenon drawing on primary documentary sources and surviving material culture from Glasgow Museums’ collections and others, as well as artworks from the period.     

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).     

Cyberpower in Strategic Affairs: Neither Unthinkable nor Blessed

Abstract

This article explores the effect of connectivity on strategic affairs. It argues that the effect on war's character is potentially, although not yet shown in practice, considerably large. Its effect upon the distribution of power among states in the international system is small, contrary to the claims of ‘cyberwar’ alarmists. All told, however, its effect upon strategic affairs is complex. On the one hand, it represents a significant advance in the ‘complexification’ of state strategies, understood in the sense of the production of intended effects. On the other hand, strategists today – still predominantly concerned with the conflicts and confrontations of states and organised military power – are generally missing the power which non-traditional strategic actors, better adapted to the network flows of the information age, are beginning to deploy. These new forms of organization and coercion will challenge the status quo.
