A wide variety of processor requirements exist on NASA missions. Often these
requirements can be met by more than one type of processor. This proposed
task will provide a technology assessment of the most current new entrants
to the market while providing a bridge to currently space qualified products.
This will include PowerPC, ARM, MIPS, and other new market entrants.
•Benchmark NASA wide processor procurement and evaluation procedures.
•Determine knowledge gaps in vendor, literature, and NASA data as it relates
to performance and possible NASA mission related failure modes.
•Comprehend architectural and technology variations as they relate to
space applications.
•Quantify current packaging materials and thermal management options for
improved performance.
•Quantify industry best practices in terms of both quality systems and reliability
standards implementation. Include possible evolutionary steps from existing
MIL-STD’s.
•Compare off the shelf PC based test HW/SW options to industry specific testers
for possible NASA Application Specific/General Test Environments (AS/GTE).
