- Description
- NASA, with interest from the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), has determined a need for High Performance Spaceflight Computing (HPSC) for multiple mission applications associated with robotic science investigations, other remote sensing, and human space exploration. Traditionally, spacecraft onboard computing systems are single processor-core systems based on existing commercial or military computers that have been radiation hardened for use in space. The systems are implemented and operated at the maximum required mission performance point, where the term performance point includes throughput, power levels and fault tolerance. As NASA, along with AFRL, considers future missions that require both an increase in throughput and greater variations in these operating points, the development of a new, more flexible processor is warranted. This processor is envisioned to provide orders of magnitude improvement in performance and performance: power ratio as well as the ability to dynamically set the throughput, power fault tolerance operating point. This project will consist of a preliminary design phase culminating in a Preliminary Design Review (PDR), a detailed design phase culminating in a Critical Design Review (CDR), a fabrication phase, and a test and characterization phase. NASA intends to issue a Request for Information (RFI) within the next 30 days based on a draft statement of work and preliminary requirements document to determine industry interest and capabilities in pursuing this processor development.
