Flexible, Scaleable Hardware Architecture for GigaOp to TeraOp Space Missions

To meet the on-board processing needs of many of tomorrow's commercial, scientific, and military satellites, a mix (numbered in the hundreds) of general purpose, special purpose, application specific, and reconfigurable processors will need to work together efficiently. We focus on the strategy for interconnecting these processing nodes in a reliable, flexible manner to insure data transfer rates are maximized and data accuracy is guaranteed.
