Achieving deterministic latency is the topic of discussion in much contemporary systems design today. Past efforts focused on increasing data transmission speeds and bandwidths but increasingly, modern applications now set an equally high value on determinism - the requirement that a data packet be delivered at a precise and repeatable moment in time. This article considers determinism, at devic…
Read MoreFast, highly reliable, and radiation tolerant memories are a Must Have feature for complex Space Edge Computing systems : DDR4 will allow the Space industry to offer higher-throughput on-board processing and increased acquisition times enabling new Earth-Observation, space-science and telecommunication applications, e.g. ultra high-resolution imagery, live streaming video and on-board AI. I prev…
Read MoreGrenoble, 5 th May 2021 – On Tuesday May 4 th 2021, the first stone was laid to launch the upgrade work of the assembly and test clean room at the factory near Grenoble, France. This project is named “GECkO” which stands for “Growth Efficiency by Cleanroom Optimization”. …
Read MoreRF data conversion systems are experiencing rapid changes as ADC and DAC performance specifications and form factors, along with new sensor technologies (Rx & Tx), continue to advance. One system level design problem has been consistent throughout—balancing the implementation tradeoffs between the analog and digital circuitry for maximum software/system flexibility (from sensor to the digital…
Read MoreProcessors and their companion DDR memories are the heart of military, defense, and avionics computing systems. Today, state-of-the-art COTS processors are significantly outperforming existing mil/aero systems. Military and defense system developments can take 5-10 years design cycles, which naturally leads to a significant gap between the latest technologies available on the market versus chipse…
Read MoreThroughout the 20th century, electricity has become ubiquitous and a requisite for day to day life. Unsurprisingly, the power grid constructed to support our need for electricity today is vastly complex, dealing with issues such as maintaining or replacing old systems, interfacing older installations with new green power generation solution, supporting and reacting to the fluctuating demand for en…
Read MoreSpace flight systems have experienced rapid generational development over the last sixty years. From military, to weather, to earth observation, and telecommunications (particularly as 5G networks globally advance), one technological problem has been consistent throughout–selecting and implementing a fast and reliable space qualified microprocessor. …
