  • Optimizing Radar and Advanced Sensor Functions with Fpgas
    White Paper Optimizing Radar and Advanced Sensors Functions With FPGAs Introduction Modern warfare in urban and coastal environments depends heavily upon situational awareness. Soldiers in the air, at sea, and on the ground need to understand the environment around them and identify threats as early as possible. State-of-the-art military sensors have unprecedented requirements in the volume of environmental data to be measured and processed. To handle this data and provide “actionable intelligence” to the soldier as soon as possible, sensor system logic requires optimized combinations of logic and digital signal processing (DSP) density, high-speed transceivers, power-versus-performance design flexibility, and high-assurance design flow to meet end-user requirements. As shown in Figure 1, radar systems are used in many different platform sizes, both military and non-military. As more of these systems adopt array and conformal array technologies, the digital logic requirements of these systems will increase, and need to fit into smaller components and boards. Figure 1. Radar Applications Altera’s simple and reliable tool flow, intellectual property (IP) library, and power efficient logic devices are highly advantageous to designers in the military-focused advanced sensor market. Convergence of Military Electronics Systems Military systems and vehicles traditionally have housed many separate electronic subsystems. Among the most sophisticated of these are targeting radar, surveillance radar, electronic warfare and countermeasures, imaging, and radio communications equipment. As shown in Figure 2, these functions have been converging in many military systems, utilizing multi-mode active electronically scanned arrays (AESA). This increases the digital- and state-logic requirements of the system significantly, and demands industry responses with more sophisticated fixed and programmable logic devices (PLDs).

    iLORE: Discovering a Lineage of Microprocessors Samuel Lewis Furman Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science & Applications Kirk Cameron, Chair Godmar Back Margaret Ellis May 24, 2021 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Computer history, systems, computer architecture, microprocessors Copyright 2021, Samuel Lewis Furman iLORE: Discovering a Lineage of Microprocessors Samuel Lewis Furman (ABSTRACT) Researchers, benchmarking organizations, and hardware manufacturers maintain repositories of computer component and performance information. However, this data is split across many isolated sources and is stored in a form that is not conducive to analysis. A centralized repository of said data would arm stakeholders across industry and academia with a tool to more quantitatively understand the history of computing. We propose iLORE, a data model designed to represent intricate relationships between computer system benchmarks and computer components. We detail the methods we used to implement and populate the iLORE data model using data harvested from publicly available sources. Finally, we demonstrate the validity and utility of our iLORE implementation through an analysis of the characteristics and lineage of commercial microprocessors. We encourage the research community to interact with our data and visualizations at csgenome.org. iLORE: Discovering a Lineage of Microprocessors Samuel Lewis Furman (GENERAL AUDIENCE ABSTRACT) Researchers, benchmarking organizations, and hardware manufacturers maintain repositories of computer component and performance information.
