成功15.06.2023欧洲航天局(ESA)承包发展高性能抗辐射上人工智能处理功能。€175 k计划为将来进一步人工智能应用程序的ESA任务,高可用性的需求,包括探测器和深太空机器人。卫星机载处理正在经历大幅增长跨不同行业,包括电信、地球观测、导航、探索和科学。虽然目前机载处理技术主要依靠传统的方法如滤波、FFT、编码和调制,有一个日益增长的兴趣利用机器学习和神经网络的方法来解决复杂的挑战如模式识别和图像分割。此外,边缘处理的扩张,例如,卫星预计在未来几年迅速发展。HPDP-40,由欧洲航天局(ESA)和DLR,抗辐射,高性能的协同处理器设计解决需要一个灵活的和re-programmable高性能在空间应用程序数据处理机。解决方案具有低功耗、高灵活性、动态re-programmability、紧凑的形式,和低质量。它开辟了新的可能性,在太空中先进的数据处理。测试一直在进行人工智能(AI)使用HPDP,尽管有限范围由于缺乏通用AI框架定制的协同处理器。ESA已经感染了瑞士启动Klepsydra技术开发高性能抗辐射上人工智能处理功能。 The startup develops software products, which, when deployed on widely used processors and operating systems, result in a substantial tenfold increase in data processing rate and a 50% reduction in energy consumption. At the core of Klepsydra’s offerings lies the Streaming Distribution Optimiser (SDO), an integral part of Klepsydra AI. The SDO employs Genetic Algorithms (GA) to identify the optimal distribution of computing resources for executing AI models on the target processor, considering critical factors such as latency, power consumption, and data rate. Besides significantly simplifying AI model deployment on the HPDP, Klepsydra’s solution ensures compatibility with major AI frameworks, eliminating the need for HPDP-specific coding. This approach will enable further AI applications in future ESA missions that demand high availability, including landers and deep space robotics. With their new partnership and project, Klepsysdra and ESA could establish a European hardware/software stack, reinforcing Europe’s capability to leverage AI in space. (Press release/RAN)
