Abstract

The reconfigurable data path processor (RDPP) is a multi-processing integrated circuit under development for data intensive, streaming applications aboard spacecraft. It is targeted to an ultra-low-power, radiation-tolerant CMOS technology. The RDPP implements a synchronous data flow computational model with conditional data flow instead of conditional branching. In addition to the processor chip, a suite of support software is being developed.
