Section Conclusion. ‌ We have carried out, to the best of our knowledge, the first performance and scalabil- ity study of a strong open source program for playing Go using MCTS called FUEGO on the Xeon Phi. Previous work only targeted scalability on a CPU [SKW10, BG11, SHM+16] or used simulation [Seg11]. Our experiments showed the difference in per- formance of an identical program in an identical setup on the Xeon CPU versus the Xeon Phi using the standard experimental settings of the 9 × 9 board and 1 second per move. We found (1) a good performance up to 32 threads, confirming a previous simulation study and (2) a deteriorating performance from 32 to 240 threads (see Figure 3.6).

Section Conclusion. The value of soft law for the governance of space activities lies not only in its capability to influence and steer the behaviours of States in outer space but also in its connection with hard law. In particular, non-binding instruments like the COPUOS Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines and the COPUOS LTS Guidelines can be used to specify the requirements under Article IX of the Outer Space Treaty, such as the due regard principle. In addition, these instruments could be used by judges in determining fault for the establishment of liability for damage caused in outer space. This can be argued in the context of Article IX of the OST, as well as from the perspec- tive that these instruments embody the general understanding of States on 330 Ibid. 331 ▇▇▇▇▇, F.

Therefore, the development of internationally accepted guidelines and ▇▇▇▇- dards for ADR could provide clarity to States engaging in these activities on how their missions should be conducted in compliance with the due regard principle and how they can reduce the risk of being held at fault if damage occurs to other space objects as a result of these missions. This is especially important in view of the technical complexity and challenges involved in ADR activities. Therefore, guidelines and standards on how ADR missions are to be designed and operated should be developed. The commercial space industry has taken the first step to develop technical and safety standards for ADR. More specifically, CONFERS has published several documents setting out guiding principles and recommended prac- tices on the design and operations of ADR missions. The compliance with these principles and practices could be used as an index in the SSR system to assess the level of sustainability of ADR missions. The publications of CONFERS were used as a basis for the development of ISO Standard 24330, which contributes to enhancing the universalisation of these publications across the globe. The SSC has also produced best practices that could facilitate ADR missions such as the installation of grappling and docking...

Section Conclusion. Due to their dual-use potential, ADR activities may raise security concerns. To respond to these potential concerns, States engaging in ADR activities should enhance the transparency of their missions through the sharing of relevant information in a timely manner to clarify their intentions, espe- cially in ambiguous situations. While not explicitly addressing ADR, the GGE Report of 2013 contains a series of recommendations that could be useful for reducing the risk of concerns over ADR activities. On the basis of these recommendations, the relevant measures that could be adopted by States conducting ADR activities to reduce the risk of misperceptions can be summarised as below: 1. Publication of national policies relating to the development and use of ADR technologies; 2. Exchange of information on ADR activities such as the publication of mission plans; 3. Provision of risk reduction notifications to other States, especially before potentially dangerous operations and in the event of anomalies in the course of ADR activities; 4. Designation of a contact point and establishment of appropriate ▇▇▇▇- ▇▇▇▇ for effective communication, consultation, and coordination regarding ADR activities; 5. Organisation of familiarisation visits to ADR launches, on an equitable and mutually acceptable basis and in compliance with relevant export control laws and regulations. ADR activities are not only a necessity for space sustainability but are becoming a reality, as some States and private entities are developing and planning their missions to remove defunct objects from orbit. Hence, it is essential for the potential dual-use concerns over these activities to be properly addressed to ensure that these activities would not become destabilising factors to international peace and security in outer space. The international discussion on the future legal development to address the security concerns over ADR activities is addressed by the OEWG convened under the UN General Assembly Resolution 76/231.378 This will be taken 377 UN Doc. A/76/77 (2021), supra note 350, pp. 15-16, para. 38(i). 378 UN Doc. A/RES/76/231 (30 December 2021).

Section Conclusion. The international instruments providing space debris mitigation guidelines and standards constitute a significant step forward towards tackling the space debris problem. They focus on limiting the generation of new debris and not the remediation of existing debris from orbit. This does not mean that they are irrelevant to ADR. Rather, the IADC Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines touch upon the issue of ADR by recognising direct retrieval as a potential post-mission disposal option. In addition, the space debris mitigation guidelines and standards are applicable to ADR operations in the aspect of limiting the number of debris created as a result of these operations. However, while these instruments encourage their addressees to limit the generation of space debris as a result of their space activities, they neither call upon States to actively remediate previously created debris from orbit, nor provide clear recommendations on how ADR activities should be carried out in a manner to reduce the risk of creating more debris. In other words, while these guidelines set out general debris mitigation measures that apply to ADR like other space activities, these measures are not specifi- cally designed for ADR and they need to be translated into more specific technical or operational practices to guide ADR operators towards comply- ing with these measures. The issue of protecting the orbital environment from the continuous growth of space debris is also considered within the context of the long- term sustainability of outer space activities. The adoption by COPUOS of the twenty-one LTS Guidelines is another positive step forward towards preserving the outer space environment. Space debris, which is recognised as a critical threat to space sustainability, is also addressed in the COPUOS LTS Guidelines. Several LTS Guidelines are of close relevance to ADR in the sense that faithful compliance with these guidelines may contribute to promoting the advances in ADR technologies and enhancing the safety of ADR operations. However, the issue of ADR is not sufficiently addressed in the COPUOS Guidelines. Firstly, the term ADR is not expressly mentioned in any of the twenty-one LTS Guidelines. Secondly, even Guideline D.2, which is understood as being of direct relevance to active remediation of space debris, only recommends States and international organisations to invest new measures to manage the space debris population in the long term, without more outrightly encouraging...

Section Conclusion. ‌ We have performed micro-benchmarking on the Xeon Phi and found unexpected sen- sitivity of performance to thread affinity policies, which we attribute to a complex interconnect architecture. Although the theoretical performance for the Xeon Phi is reached, from the results of experiments we may conclude that the performance of a parallel program on the Xeon Phi is susceptible to the number of threads and the thread affinity policy.
