NASA chooses 3U CompactPCI FPGA board from 4DSP for high-performance space computing

摘要

Computer scientists at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) needed 3U CompactPCI single-board computers for an embedded computing test bed for advanced space instruments. They found their solution at 4DSP LLC in Reno, Nev. Officials of the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va., are awarding a $42,479 contract to 4DSP for 3U CompactPCI cards with onboard Virtex-6 LX240T-2 field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to support the NASA High-Speed On-Board Data Processing for Science Instruments (HOPS) project.
