Title: Outside Of Normal Operating Conditions: Using Commercial Hardware In Space Computing Platforms For Ubiquitous Sensing

  1. Los Alamos National Laboratory

Over the past decade field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been useful in speeding up digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, and FPGA implementations can be orders of magnitude faster than microprocessor implementations. As many national security satellites are DSP-oriented, many organizations have started using commercial FPGAs to process data closer to the sensor. Using commercial technology successfully in this environment has lead to new research into fault tolerance and resilience.
