Description
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) have started the development of the next generation micro processing unit (MPU) for space-use. Both high performance computing and low power consumption are important features to realize future missions of spacecraft like satellites and rovers that are becoming sophisticated. We adopted Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) wafer to achieve very low power consumption and dual-core architecture to realize high performance computing. Since this MPU will be the first device which adopts a dual-core architecture, we’ve also been developing an operating system (OS) that suits for it. I’m going to mention about our future view about this MPU in my presentation.
