On-board Payload Processing Requirements

The corresponding task covers the collection and derivation of the S4PRO payload processing requirements, based on the representative set of applications selected in Task 1.1. It includes the initial definition of benchmarking activities to be carried out. The foreseen activities are as follows: - Provide the different payloads’ on-board processing requirements (DLR, OHB-I, iTUBS, DSI, QAS, ARTTIC). - Collect, compile, harmonise and formalize requirements (ARTTIC). - Analyse them to identify, for each payload, the requirements in terms of data throughput and computational performances (DLR, OHB-I, iTUBS, DSI, QAS, ARTTIC, per area of expertise). - Identify the most suitable radar (DLR) and optical (OHB-I) applications for the S4PRO computing system definition. - Provide feedback in terms of data transfer requirements in possible hardware platform solutions (iTUBS). - Evaluate payload processing requirements and define benchmark activities in view of implementation (iTUBS, DLR, OHB-I, DSI). - Refine requirements for the payload processing on programming and algorithm optimization/parallelization aspects (iTUBS), S4PRO hardware related implementation aspects (DSI). With these information, the task will: - Select a significant subset of payload data processing algorithms suitable for the applications considered in T1.1, such to cover at maximum extent the collected requirements. (DLR, OHB-I, iTUBS, DSI, QAS, ARTTIC, per area of expertise). - Define the preliminary benchmarking plan on programming and algorithm optimization/parallelization aspects (iTUBS), S4PRO hardware-related implementation aspects (DSI). - Coordinate requirements capture and feedback from Advisory Board and the integration of their recommendations in D1.3 (ARTTIC).
