基于访问模式的多核末级Cache优化方法*

多核处理器架构已经成为当前处理器的主流趋势,应用程序中访问模式的多样性给多核处理器的末级Cache带来了许多挑战。提出了一种基于访问模式的多核末级Cache优化方法,它包含“可配置的共享私有Cache划分”、“可配置的旁路Cache策略”和“优先权替换策略”三个协同递进的层次。通过使用该方法,程序员能够灵活地改变末级Cache执行行为,从而高效地适应应用程序访问模式的变化。实验结果表明,提出的方法能够显著降低末级Cache的缺失率,进而提高系统的整体性能。     

Changing the paradigm: Simulation,now a method of first resort

Decades ago, simulation was famously characterized as a “method of last resort,” to which analysts should turn only “when all else fails.” In those intervening decades, the technologies supporting simulation—computing hardware, simulation‐modeling paradigms, simulation software, design‐and‐analysis methods—have all advanced dramatically. We offer an updated view that simulation is now a very appealing option for modeling and analysis. When applied properly, simulation can provide fully as much insight, with as much precision as desired, as can exact analytical methods that are based on more restrictive assumptions. The fundamental advantage of simulation is that it can tolerate far less restrictive modeling assumptions, leading to an underlying model that is more reflective of reality and thus more valid, leading to better decisions.

高炮随动系统性能测量算法

针对火炮调炮精度检测中存在的不足, 提出了一种基于双目立体视觉的三重交会测量方法,在炮身管上附加球状标志物,利用CCD摄像机获取标志物图像,通过标志物成像的几何投影关系计算球心的三维坐标.为了降低图像识别误差的影响,对投影的识别位置进行拓展和细化,并对球心投影边界进行插值,摄像机光心与插值点连线射线形成了一个锥体,两摄像机的锥体分别与炮台球面相交形成曲面,计算两曲面公共部分的形心,即为球心位置.通过确定球心位置,对炮身管的高低角、方位角进行计算,从而检测火炮调炮的性能.实验证明,该算法简单、快速,具有较高的精度.     

Non-violent Resistance and Last Resort

It is commonly accepted that recourse to war is justifiable only as a last resort. If a situation can be resolved by less harmful means, then war is unjust. It is also commonly accepted that violent actions in war should be necessary and proportionate. Violent actions in war are unjust if the end towards which those actions are means can be achieved by less harmful means. In this article, I argue that satisfaction of the last resort criterion depends in part upon the likelihood of success of non-violent alternatives to war, and that the actual and potential effectiveness of non-violent resistance means that the last resort criterion of the jus ad bellum and the proportionality criterion of the jus in bello are harder to satisfy than is often presumed.
