Low Power Space Computer Incorporating VLIW and SEU Mitigation

Innovative commercial computer architectures and power saving technologies such as VLIW and frequency scaling are leveraged from state-of-the-art portable computing initiatives, but also addressing the unique space radiation environment eg(SEU). Use ofpervasive IP cores, a novel triple modular reundancy technique, and world-class silicon foundries with rad tolerant processes enable Space Micro to develop a low cost rad hard, high performance space computer approach. Our low power space computer (LPSC)concept offers the promise of unparralled performance in space applications, leapfrogging today's space computer offerings. Applications include DOD satellites, NASA/ESA/NASDA missions, and commercial space platforms.
