Descrizione This thesis will be done at Leonardo Spa, Caselle Plant, Turin
The advent of high-performance computing on aircraft computer platforms is generating several design challenges: digital fly-by-wire Flight Control Computer provides complex algorithms of actuation control loop, which require hardware overhead to compute their operations efficiently.
To address this task, the AMD Xilinx Versal ACAP (Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform) platform provides a cutting-edge and promising architecture. This FPGA is the industry’s first compute architecture that comprises acceleration engines (i.e. AI Engines) for scalar and vector processing, tightly coupled with programmable logic and configurable on-chip connectivity to enable customized and heterogeneous hardware solutions.
This thesis focuses in developing digital microarchitecture, employed in airborne electronic modules, in Versal and evaluating its hardware implementation in typical DSP logic blocks and in the AI Engines according to the required operations schedule.
The thesis work includes financial compensation.
