The Eighth Workshop on Fault-tolerant Spaceborne Computing Employing New Technologies

Sandia National Labs seeks participation in The Eighth Workshop on Fault-tolerant Spaceborne Computing Employing New Technologies to take place May 26 to 29, 2015 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The meeting's theme will be next-generation spaceborne computing employing hardened and trusted versions of new technologies being introduced by the commercial sector, such as multi-core, accelerators, FPGA, nano memories, and interconnect. To make effective use of these new hardware technologies, software tools will be needed that can provide power-efficient, highly dependable applications without excessive software development cost. The meeting will have special coverage on the following topics: Trust, as in trusted components 3D technology Impact of shifts in semiconductor scaling and "Moore's Law" Software issues, notably resilience Most of the presentations will be by invited speakers, but there is space reserved for new or "out of the box" ideas relevant to space computing. If you have such an idea, please contact the organizer or visit the website for instructions on how to submit an abstract for review. Due to space limitations, attendees must obtain an invitation before attending. Qualified attendees may obtain an invitation and more information from Erik DeBenedictis, (505) 284-4017, [email protected], or the conference web site http://www.spacecomputing.org .
