基于SIMD处理器的全定制多粒度矩阵寄存器文件

在SIMD处理器上映射矩阵运算时会带来大量的数据重排操作从而降低系统性能。本文提出定制化的多粒度矩阵寄存器文件(MMRF)以消除数据重排操作。MMRF支持多粒度的并行行访问和列访问,从而提升矩阵运算的性能。MMRF可以被动态配置为不同的并行访问模式,在不同模式下一个或多个子矩阵可以被并行处理。实验结果显示,同传统的向量寄存器文件(VRF)和矩阵寄存器文件(MRF)相比,MMRF可分别带来2.21倍和1.6倍的平均性能提升,面积分别增加14.3%和3.7%,功耗分别增加14.6%和2.2%。同TMS320C64x+处理器相比,基于SIMD技术的FT-Matrix处理器在引入MMRF后可以得到5.65倍到7.71倍的性能提升。通过层次化的全定制设计技术,MMRF的面积和关键路径分别减少17.9%和39.1%。     

Research on construction of operation architecture based on complex network

Operation architecture plays a more important role in Network Centric Warfare (NCW), which involves dynamic operation networks with complex properties. Thus, it is essential to investigate the operation architecture under the informatization condition within NCW and find a proper network construction method to efficiently coordinate various functional modules on a particular situation, i.e., the aerial combat. A new method integrating the physical level and functional level of NCW is proposed to establish the operation architecture, where the concept of network operation constraints unit and net constructing mechanisms are employed to avoid conflicts among different platforms. Meanwhile, we conduct simulations to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of the constructed operation architecture and analyze the influence of the network parameters.     

French intervention in Mali: strategic alliances,long-term regional presence?

The March 2012 coup in Mali opened the door to expanded territorial occupation in northern Mali by Tuareg separatists and subsequently armed Islamist extremists. French forces intervened at the behest of the interim government in Mali. This article examines how various actors frame the conflict to their advantage. While the Malian government and France are allies, the position of various Tuareg actors shift over time as they strategize and weigh the value of allegiance with the French. Local extremist organizations are labeled as terrorists and are targeted as enemies. This article argues that the conflict has been decontextualized and framed within the ‘war on terror’. France’s decision to intervene and to expand their regional military presence, rather than exit, is legitimized by the framing of their intervention as integral to counterterrorism efforts.
