片上网络中一种单周期2GHz无缓冲路由器

近年来,无缓冲路由器由于不需要缓冲器而成为片上网络低开销的解决方案。为了提高无缓冲路由器的性能,提出一种单周期高性能无缓冲片上网络路由器。该路由器使用一个简单的置换网络替换串行化的交换分配器与交叉开关以实现高性能。虚通道路由器与基准无缓冲路由器相比,该路由器在TSMC65nm工艺下可以以较小的面积开销达到2GHz的时钟频率。在合成通信负载与真实应用负载下的模拟结果表明,该路由器的包平均延迟远小于虚通道路由器和其他无缓冲路由器。     

一种改进的旋转CRC数据校验设计方法

旋转CRC同时使用两个生成多项式产生校验数据。之前的方法校验能力弱,报文丢失后的检错失效率很高。提出了一种新的旋转CRC设计方法,通过比较,选取合适的更高次的生成多项式组合,并且修改了检验生成与检测机制,形成MR-CRC。FPGA实现结果表明,这种方法能够在较低逻辑复杂度的基础上提高校验能力,从而改善数据通信的可靠性,而且对系统性能影响甚小。通过比较16位MR-CRC与32位传统CRC的实现数据发现,前者在所用资源减少10%的情况下,频率提高了25%。

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.     

IED casualties mask the real problem: it's us

Casualty figures suggest that the US/Allied Counter Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) policy and the present allocation of national assets, resources, and intellectual capital have not been very successful. A number of explanations for why this has been the case are discussed and critiqued here.     

Crime facilitation purposes of social networking sites: A review and analysis of the ‘cyberbanging’ phenomenon

There have been growing claims in media circles and law-enforcement settings that street gangs and criminal groups are turning to Internet-based social networking sites for various reasons ranging from the showcasing of their images and exploits to the suspected recruitment of members. The present study investigates whether such a trend is, in fact, in place. The presence of street gangs on these Internet sites is referred to as cyberbanging. While there is some anecdotal evidence suggesting that gangs are turning to social networking sites, there is little available research on exactly how street gangs and criminal groups use the Internet. Our main argument is that gang culture is in many ways an individualized phenomenon and this feature ties in directly with recent assessments of the Internet as a setting that is governed by a process of networked individualism. This theoretical link between the individualized gang setting and the presence of gang members on social networking sites helps us understand why recruitment is improbable even in a context where people are openly diffusing their image and exploits to a growing number of Internet users. The empirical segment of this research adds to this general outlook. Based on a keyword search of over 50 street gang names, the three main social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace) were monitored for street gang presence. Results illustrate that gang presence on social networking sites is linked primarily to promoting a general gang or street culture through individual displays. In regard to the visitors to such sites, there is no evidence that they are being tricked or manipulated in any way. They are, however, showing their curiosity in regard to such groups and, for those who share their comments and opinions, signs of support are evident. Thus, whereas criminal gangs are not proactively using the Internet to convert anyone into being gang members, social networking sites are creating a new venue for people who share or are sensitive to the values underlying street gang lifestyle to come together. These sites essentially create a new convergence setting for gang members to interact with a wider number of people who would probably never have been exposed to their lifestyles and exploits through physical interactions. The study's conclusion extends these findings toward further research in this area, as well as outlining the more relevant implications for law-enforcement monitoring of this growing phenomenon.
