Abstract

RC64, a novel rad-hard 64-core signal processing chip targets DSP performance of 75 GMACs (16bit), 150 GOPS and 38 single precision GFLOPS while dissipating less than 10 Watts. RC64 integrates advanced DSP cores with a multi-bank shared memory and a hardware scheduler, also supporting DDR2/3 memory and twelve 3.125 Gbps full duplex high speed serial links using SpaceFibre and other protocols. The programming model employs sequential fine-grain tasks and a separate task map to define task dependencies. RC64 is implemented as a 300 MHz integrated circuit on a 65nm CMOS technology, assembled in hermetically sealed ceramic CCGA624 package and qualified to the highest space standards.
