北斗静止轨道卫星信号盲区快速并行解算方法

北斗系统静止轨道卫星信号盲区解算方法复杂,串行计算耗费时间长,须在并行环境下利用更多的计算资源进行北斗盲区的快速解算。在分析北斗盲区解算原理与算法并行特征基础上,提出动态盲区影响域的并行解算方法。以栅格单元为并行粒度进行任务划分,实现了北斗盲区的高效并行解算。运用全国范围59景数字高程模型数据,利用8进程进行盲区并行解算,耗费时间约为5小时。实验测试结果表明:算法的并行效率随着进程数的增加有所衰减,但稳定在96%以上。其程序中间件已集成应用于高性能地理信息平台,应用效果良好。

基于GPU的SAR成像层次化并行处理研究

针对SAR成像处理具有的内在并行性,提出了一种基于GPU的SAR成像层次化并行处理方法。首先分析了SAR成像处理过程中信号的并行性,对任务进行了层次化分解与组合,设计了层次化并行的CS成像算法;然后通过CUDA编程将并行成像算法映射到CPU+GPUs系统平台上,实现了层次化并行成像处理;为了检验并行处理效果,采用原始数据进行了SAR成像处理实验。实验结果表明,在几乎没有损失图像质量的情况下,层次化并行处理获得了较高的加速比。     

球面高斯投影及其变形的闭合公式

将地球视为球体时,高斯投影与横墨卡托投影是同一种投影,因此高斯投影公式可表示为形式紧凑的闭合形式。根据相关定义,以高斯投影的闭合公式为基础,通过一系列数学变换,推导出高斯投影反解公式、经纬线投影方程、投影的长度比及子午线收敛角公式的严格解析式,并借助算例验证了推导结果的可靠性与正确性。与以往根据高斯投影的幂级数公式推得的结果进行了对比分析,结果表明:所推导出的公式逻辑上更严密、形式上更紧凑,既丰富了高斯投影理论,又完善了地图投影数学基础。     

并行规约与扫描原语在ReRAM架构上的性能优化

规约与扫描是并行计算中的核心原语,其并行加速至关重要。然而,冯·诺依曼体系结构下无法避免的数据移动使其面临“存储墙”等性能与功耗瓶颈。近来,基于ReRAM等非易失存储器的存算一体架构支持的原位计算可一步实现矩阵-向量乘,已在机器学习与图计算等应用中展现了巨大的潜力。提出面向忆阻器存算一体架构的规约与扫描的并行加速方法,重点阐述基于矩阵-向量乘运算的计算流程和在忆阻器架构上的映射方法,实现软硬件协同设计,降低功耗并提高性能。相比于GPU,所提规约与扫描原语可实现高达两个数量级的加速,平均加速比也可达到两个数量级。分段规约与扫描最大可达到五个(平均四个)数量级的加速,并将功耗降低79%。

Improving series and parallel systems through mixtures of duplicated dependent components

We discuss suitable conditions such that the lifetime of a series or of a parallel system formed by two components having nonindependent lifetimes may be stochastically improved by replacing the lifetimes of each of the components by an independent mixture of the individual components' lifetimes. We also characterize the classes of bivariate distributions where this phenomenon arises through a new weak dependence notion. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics, 2011     

Polaris,East of Suez: British Plans for a Nuclear Force in the Indo-Pacific, 1964–1968

This article investigates the little-known plans formulated by Harold Wilson's Labour government to deploy Polaris submarines in the Indo-Pacific region. The scheme was first proposed in 1965 as a response to several problems faced by British policy-makers, including China's acquisition of a nuclear capability, Britain's wish to maintain a meaningful position ‘East of Suez’ at reduced cost, and German pressure for equal treatment within NATO on nuclear matters. Despite extensive high-level discussion, the plans were finally abandoned in mid-1968, as Labour moved more decisively to forsake the world role.     

French war plans, 1914: The ‘Balance of Power Paradox’

Historians have noted that both German and French war preparation in 1914 fell victim to the inadequacies of traditional threat-based planning: vulnerability to ‘threat deception’ which caused each to underestimate or mischaracterize the threat; a tendency to ‘mirror-image’ by fitting intelligence into preconceived notions of how the enemy was expected to behave; and ‘group think’ that discouraged a serious consideration of alternative scenarios. This article applies the ‘Balance of Power Paradox’ to explain why, at the dawn of the twentieth century, war planning in both Germany and France was driven by an acute sense of weakness which encouraged each side to fashion highly ‘risk acceptant’ strategies. In particular, he examines why and how French commander-in-chief General Joseph Joffre evolved and rationalized his audacious, and disastrous, Plan XVII to leverage French weaknesses and prevent the stronger German Army from bringing the full weight of its military strength to bear against France. The potential implication of this historical vignette is that leaders, and by extension military planners, of both strong and weak states focus on the constraints faced by their opponents, and assume that they can avoid the limitations of their position, while their opponent cannot.
