Fault Mitigation Schemes for Future Spaceflight Multicore Processors
The goal of this work is to achieve fail-operational and graceful-degradation behavior in realistic flight mission scenarios, of multicore processors such as Mars Entry-Descent-Landing (EDL) and Primitive Body proximity operations.
Using Multi-Core Systems for Rover Autonomy
Task Objectives are: (1) Develop and demonstrate key capabilities for rover long-range science operations using multi-core computing, (a) Adapt three rover technologies to execute on SOA multi-core processor (b) Illustrate performance improvements achieved (c) Demonstrate adapted capabilities with rover hardware, (2) Targeting three high-level autonomy technologies (a) Two for onboard data analysis (b) One for onboard command sequencing/planning, (3) Technologies identified as enabling for future missions, (4)Benefits will be measured along several metrics: (a) Execution time / Power requirements (b) Number of data products processed per unit time (c) Solution quality
