冷战的结束,减少了公海上海战的威胁,然而新的海岸战斗任务,以及象战术弹道式导弹这样的战争威胁已经出现。这些作战任务和战争威胁,向传统的海军标准计算资源发出了挑战——要在节约成本的前提下迎接这一挑战是日益困难了,另外,国防秘书威廉姆·帕瑞在私人军用标准的高费用后明确指出,应当在任何可能的地方均使用商业标准。作为这种正在改变的环境的结果,宙斯盾造船计划已经作出努力,通过使用性能较强的商用设备的性能以及更新的系统结构,来取代当前军事标准计算设备,即采用分布式计算。作为此过程的一部分,宙斯盾计划署与高级研究计划局(ARPA)合作,进行一项将高级研究计划局研制的多种分布式计算技术插入到宙斯盾作战系统中的可行性的合作实验。高性能分布式计算计划(Hiper—D)就是从这种合作创新中发展而来的。高性能分布式计算计划的总目的是为了确认分布式计算在海军舰载作战系统中应用的有效性。本篇论文提供了商业计算技术应用于宙斯盾作战系统时,第一次Hiper—D演示试验的结果。
The end of the cold war has reduced the threat of a maritime war in the high seas. However, new coastal combat missions and the threat of war such as tactical ballistic missiles have emerged. These operational tasks and the threat of war challenge the traditional Navy standard computing resources - it is increasingly difficult to meet this challenge with cost savings, and Defense Secretary William Parry is at a high standard of private military The cost clearly states that commercial standards should be used wherever possible. As a result of this changing environment, the Aegis Shipbuilding Program has made an effort to replace the current military standard computing equipment with distributed computing by using the performance of more capable commercial equipment and newer system architectures. As part of this process, Aegis collaborated with the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) to conduct a collaborative experiment that demonstrated the feasibility of inserting various distributed computing technologies developed by Advanced Research and Planning Agency into the Aegis combat system. High-performance distributed computing plan (Hiper-D) is developed from this cooperative innovation. The overall purpose of a high-performance distributed computing plan is to confirm the effectiveness of distributed computing in naval-based combat operations. This paper presents the results of the first Hiper-D demo experiment when commercial computing was applied to the Aegis combat system.
