| SATELLITE PAYLOAD PROCESSOR |
|
Astrium, an EADS subsidiary, is the no. 1 European satellite manufacturer
employing 17.000 men and women.
Processors for satellites in orbit demand for highest performance, low
power, redundancy and adaptability. PACT's XPP technology perfectly
complies with those demands.
Astrium licenses PACT's IP for the core of their new satellite processor.
The IP comprises the right to build a complete high performance processor
from various scalable building blocks and software tools.
|
|
|
The processor fulfills the emerging needs for computing intensive payload
software. The hardware and software configuration can be uploaded to adapt
to the ever changing commercial and technical needs of satellite operators
during the live-time of a satellite. XPP's unique high bandwidth on-chip
communication framework and streaming IO-channels allow easy integration
into space qualified hardware equipment and provides full scalability and
redundancy.
|
|
The chip is built from a compehensive set of modules based on PACT's IP:
- coarse grained array of processing elements
- unique sequential processor cores with implicit parallelism
- highest bandwidth streaming communication channels
- multiple memory interfaces
