Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) are at the core of Air Force scientific priorities in air vehicle design. As part of an ambitious research program funded by the Air Force, NASA, and DOE, Accelogic is spearheading the development of LAPACKrc, a groundbreaking family of FPGA-based linear algebra solvers able to achieve speedups larger than 1,000x with a single chip. Once completed, LAPACKrc wi ...

An estimated 70% of supercomputing cycles worldwide are dedicated to solving numerical linear algebra problems, and large-scale ¿least-squares¿ computational problems are an important subset of numerical linear algebra. Sca/LAPACKrc, a multimillion dollar program to develop FPGA-accelerated linear algebra software, already has demonstrated speedups larger than 100x per commodity processor for a ...

New missile materials are needed to expand the capability of current air-to-ground missile systems. This expansion of capability dictates the development of lighter weight materials that are capable of short duration exposures to temperatures as high as

Any manned missions to extraterrestrial locations will require shelter structures for a variety of purposes ranging from habitat usage to biomass production. Such shelters need to be constructed in such a way to minimize stowed volume and payload weight. The structures must also be very durable and have the ability to survive punctures without collapsing. Ways of increasing available crew-load ...

During lunar exploration, regolith is both the major available resource and a substantial obstacle in establishing a long-term presence. The fine surface dust is highly abrasive and can both be a health hazard for the crew and the main contributor to equipment failure. Regolith is also the only material readily available to build protective shelters for the crew to prevent exposure to lethal dos ...

Large aperture antennas are of interest to NASA for applications in establishing high-speed communication relays for interplanetary missions. Design goals include 20 meter apertures. In order to minimize mission costs at these large diameters, weight must be severely restricted. Adherent Technologies, Inc. (ATI) has developed two technologies for ultra-light space structures and antennas, the R ...

Aging and durability of aircraft in both the military and civilian sectors are becoming major issues as the existing fleet continues to age. Additionally, the increased use of composite structures in the civilian fleet, such as in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A380, make the understanding and/or improvement of composite durability, particularly durability of repairs, even more critical ...

The primary aims and opportunities of the NexGEN Interface are revolutionary improvements to the OneSAF Behavior Composer and associated processes, to enable military personnel to rapidly and easily build or edit useful OneSAF behaviors for their training and operational purposes. Our NexGEN Interface focuses on military users who range from personnel with basic tactical skills to world-class tac ...

Our Internet Based-Rehabilitation (IB-Rehab) Modules are focused on end-to-end rehabilitation therapeutic support of our recovering warfighters. Our core modules currently enable initial hospital, outpatient/clinic, and patient-home uses on commercial-off-the-shelf desktop/laptop computers, game consoles, and smart-devices(PDAs/Smart-Phones). To overcome existing treatment challenges of mTBI, PTSD ...

In Phase I the team completed all scheduled initial efforts, 1) evaluation of relevant current simulation capabilities, 2) development of aero-thermo-elastic-propulsion simulation of air-breathing hypersonic flight vehicles (AHFVs) and other flight vehicles, and 3) generation of a set of recommendations for multidisciplinary simulation capability, as planned. Numerical examples of this capability ...
