Towards Employing FPGA and ASIP Acceleration to Enable Onboard AI/ML in Space Applications
The success of AI/ML in terrestrial applications and the commercialization of space are now paving the way for the advent of AI/ML in satellites. However, the limited processing power of classical onboard processors drives the community towards extending the use of FPGAs in space with both rad-hard and Commercial-Off-The-Shelf devices. The increased performance of FPGAs can be complemented with VPU or TPU ASIP co-processors to further facilitate high-level AI development and in-flight reconfigu…
