Optimization of Onboard Processing Using the Maestro Multicore Processor for Decadal Missions

Completed

Description

Extend Tilera testbed string to include more relevant components such as standalone disk storage Add more layers of onboard data processing chain computation to create rapid data products as will be required on space missions such as atmospheric correction. Extend work on automatic parallelization of code to make use of multiple processor and increase throughput.

Listed on TechPort itself — the most direct way to ask about this specific project.

How to get involved

This is a mature technology (TRL 7+) — the realistic path in is usually NASA's Technology Transfer Program: licensing an existing NASA patent, or a Space Act Agreement to use NASA facilities/expertise directly. NASA also runs a startup licensing program with no upfront fee for companies formed to commercialize a specific NASA technology.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
