Researchers at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya and Barcelona Supercomputing Center have developed a RISC-V multicore and GPU SoC platform for safety critical systems.
The platform, called METASAT, is based on a space-grade processor, NOEL-V, integrated with the SPARROW AI accelerator and GPU Vortex.
The use of GPUs in space systems is gaining traction due to increased performance requirements for AI-related workloads.
The METASAT platform aims to enable the use of high-performance hardware in a qualifiable environment for safety critical systems.
