小型旋翼无人机在未来城市军事行动应用中潜力评估

随着全球范围的城市化进程不断推进,未来军事斗争向城市环境中发展是必然趋势。在城市作战需求分析的基础上,剖析了传统装备的"城市病",阐述了小型旋翼无人机在城市军事行动中的应用潜能。研究表明,针对现有装备在城市作战中显示出的若干短板,发展基于小型旋翼无人机打造侦察平台与精确打击平台将是一个较好的解决方案。而运用军民融合的发展模式挖掘小型旋翼无人机军用潜力,在提升军队作战能力,降低成本均具有积极意义。     

高速互连网络中基于网卡的归约计算硬件卸载机制

聚合通信广泛应用于高性能计算的研究和工程领域。在大规模的科学和工程计算中,聚合通信开销占据很大比例,有时甚至可达到全部消息传递开销的80%,是高性能计算系统的性能瓶颈。因此提出了一种基于网卡的归约计算硬件卸载机制,通过在网卡上嵌入归约操作逻辑部件,实现了数据在传输过程中的计算,减轻了CPU的负担,降低了通信延迟。通过FPGA平台实现了16节点的归约操作实验,并基于xNetSimPlus模拟器模拟了不同节点规模的归约操作。实验证明,卸载机制能有效减少聚合通信中归约操作的时间,所提支持归约计算的网卡卸载机制最高可以加速归约操作2.71倍。

Cyber-weapons in nuclear counter-proliferation

ABSTRACT

Under what conditions are cyber-weapons effective in nuclear counter-proliferation? With continued interest in nuclear proliferation professed by Iran, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia, a discussion of the effectiveness of counter-proliferation measures remains relevant. Cyber-attacks as military option in a state-on-state conflict still requires additional corroborating evidence to make conclusions about its long-term effectiveness. This work analyses the general applicability of cyber-weapons and their usefulness in nuclear counter-proliferation. Through a comparative case study of Operation Orchard, Stuxnet, and recent “Left-of-Launch” operations against North Korea, the essay finds that cyber-operations are not particularly effective against nuclear programmes that are in the later stages of their development. They can disrupt and delay a nuclear programme temporarily, if the attack remains clandestine, but cannot halt nuclear proliferation all together. However, effectiveness increases if they are used in combination with conventional weapons. The article addresses a topic of interest to national-level decision-makers: whether cyber-operations can and should play a role in nuclear counter-proliferation.
