The Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) prototype powerplant (SPP) will be a first-of-a-kind powerplant-its prime objective is to export electrical power, the national power transmission system ('grid'), above 100 MWe. As part of wider issue, addressing STEP concept design, this article seeks explore how generated from spherical tokamak heat source. Accordingly, following key functions SPP infrastructure are reviewed.
The power and procurement cost of bandwidth in system-wide networks has forced a steady drop the byte/flop ratio. This trend computation becoming faster relative to network is expected hold. In this paper, we explore how cost-oriented task placement enables reducing by enabling high performance even on tapered topologies where more provisioned at lower levels. We describe APHiD, an efficient hierarchical algorithm that uses new techniques improve quality heuristic solutions reduces demand...
For mega-projects like fusion power plants, modularity is a key enabler to cost and schedule efficiency. One way of achieving more aiming for higher numbers smaller reactors. Previous work has demonstrated that the levelized electricity (LCOE) commercial magnetic confinement plants falls at decreasing rate with increasing net electric power. Furthermore, increases rapidly than size/cost. This because as proportion energy being exported plateaus but size plant required linearly. Increases in...
Priority-based Flow Control (PFC), RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) and Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) are three enhancements to networks which allow increased performance may make attractive for systems supporting a diverse scientific workload. We constructed 96-node testbed cluster with 100 Gb/s network configured as tapered fat tree. Tests representing important operating conditions were completed we provide an analysis of these results. RoCE running PFC-enabled was found...
The AH-64 combat mission simulator's (CMS's) visual-avionics-sensor (visionics) system is discussed. visionics consists of the target acquisition and designation systems (TADS), pilot night-vision sensor (PNVS), integrated helmet display-sighting (IHADSS). These provide crew with imagery for detection, recognition, acquisition, engagement, as well to aid in flying aircraft. simulation described, test integration process. Controls, hardware interfaces, servo visual simulations are also...
The Multiple Simulator Networking (MULTISIM) Research and Development Program has demonstrated successfully the feasibility merits of simulated aviator team training by linking existing full-scale simulators within Army's Synthetic Flight Training Systems (SFTS) inventory. authors report on demonstration technology application MULTISIM at Army Aviation Center Fort Rucker, AL, using four SFTS devices. showed ease cost-effectiveness that networking can have how research be accomplished...
Traditionally, simulators have been specified, developed, and tested for their ability to support objectives which would otherwise be addressed in flight training environments with crews are generally familiar. Current simulation technology, however, permits additional the form of mission practice, but simulator characteristics relating realistic combat missions processes tactical judgement decisionmaking not as yet clearly defined. At same time, users, concerned about demands actual...
This paper discusses the requirements for helicopter crew training and how U.S. Army systematically approaches developing skills. It explains basics are taught which lead to individual member proficiencies, as well methodologies develop coordination tactical decision making. Also addressed is hierarchy of devices employed by includes discussions on simulation technologies have been applied meet each hierarchical level. As an example, we discuss used in AH-64 Apache transition these task,...
