OVERVIEW AND VISION

Microelectronics advances due to Moore’s Law make it feasible to put much more computing power into embedded systems and hence into space. However, effectively utilizing the increased computing power requires changes in architecture and software and may require reconsideration of radiation hardening issues. This workshop is to serve as a forum for coordinating R&D activities that will enable embedded computing applications to make effective use of new computing technology.

The 2010 workshop is focusing on the following specific issues:

  1. Architecture: Does it make sense to develop a Common Space borne Supercomputer Architecture for the U.S space community (NASA, DoD, DoE, IC)?
  2. Software: What additional software R&D is needed to accommodate emerging multi-core processors and other changes in the underlying hardware?
  3. Fault Tolerance: What additional fault tolerance issues are introduced by advancing computer technology?
  4. IP for Space: Is it feasible to develop and share IP modules compatible with a “plug and play” IP standard across the US Space community? (IP refers to logic designs in FPGAs and ASICs.)
  5. Memory: There will be a special working group on memory advances applicable to space, such as 3D stacking and radiation hardening.
  6. Component trust: What are the vulnerabilities in a spacecraft to using untrusted components and what mitigations are possible?
  7. Other: The organizers are open to participants supplying ideas for other working groups.

The main conference days will be Tuesday and Wednesday, May 25 and 26, 2010.

Working groups will take place on the Monday and Thursday of that week.
