CDPU Evaluations & Joint Payload Integration Projects

About
We are looking for instrument developers, spacecraft integrators and technology partners to evaluate and develop payload control and onboard processing applications using Technolution’s modular CDPU architecture.
The CDPU Evaluation Kit is available as a starting point for interface and embedded-software integration, application benchmarking and a joint demonstrator. We would like to work with partners who can bring an instrument, representative data or a defined mission use case.
Topics for collaboration include instrument command and telemetry, data acquisition, preprocessing and compression, FPGA-based AI and external acceleration, and integration with payload interfaces, mass memory and downlink systems.
We also want to investigate shared processing for multiple instruments, isolation between applications and data flows, and a security architecture suited to mission requirements. These are development topics to evaluate together, rather than claims of a completed qualified configuration.
A first meeting should identify the target application, interfaces, representative workloads, evaluation success criteria and responsibilities. Mission qualification, radiation assurance and delivery requirements can then be defined for the selected implementation. Technolution works with NLR on the CDPU development programme.
