Graphics Processing Unit accelerates scan conversion
Many examples abound as to why the adoption of COTS technologies has been such a success story for the military. The maximum benefit is obtainable where massive commercial technology investment can be leveraged directly to solve a similar technology problem in another domain. Nowhere is this level of investment more evident than in the commercial video gaming market, providing the opportunity for the technology being developed for real-time, d...

Implementing net-centric tactical warfare systems
Net-centric battlefield systems abstract data away from individual devices and provide a common infrastructure for disparate systems to exchange data across the tactical environment. Net-centric principles – making use of data-driven approaches such as those used in the Object Management Group’s (OMG’s) Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard – are being implemented in a variety of both new and existing tactical weapon...

Keeping a nation’s military in-step
From the U.S. Army’s sponsorship of ENIAC to today’s computer-controlled flight systems, defense drives computing. Today, a military advantage can come from better processors as much as it can from better weapons. Accordingly, defense organizations are some of the world’s most active users of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems, and the Intel Itanium 2 architecture is making strong market inroads.
