3. Reconfigurable and Rad-Hard Accelerated Computing in Space

Prof. Luca Sterpone (Politecnico di Torino)

11/06/2024, 12:20

Radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) reconfigurable devices have gained a lot of attention thanks to their excellent compromise between costs and performance. Being of very limited use due to a lack of performance a few years ago, these devices are now capable of implementing a wide range of applications requiring high computational capabilities. However, to further enhance computing...

2. FPG-AI: a Technology Independent Framework for Edge AI Deployment Onboard Satellite and its Characterisation on NanoXplore FPGAs

Dr Pietro Nannipieri (University of Pisa)

11/06/2024, 12:40

The project aims to develop the first AI-to-FPGA toolflow supporting all state-of-the-art FPGAs, including NanoXplore devices. The objective is to facilitate AI deployment onboard satellites and demonstrate the applicability to NanoXplore technology, enhancing European sovereignty. We extended the FPG-AI design for compliance with NanoXplore technology, adding RNNs to the list of supported...

13. NanoXplore Embedded Software Development

Israel DA COSTA LOPES (Nanoxplore)

11/06/2024, 14:00

Due to the increasing complexity of current embedded software applications such as Artificial Intelligence, it is indispensable to rely on efficient software development tools for increasing the productivity. To this extent, Nanoxplore provides the NG-ULTRA target platform supporting high-reliability Operating Systems and hypervisor including a baremetal compilation environment. On the top of...
