NASA Electronic Parts and Packaging (NEPP) Program Overview Mission Statement: Provide NASA's leadership for developing and maintaining guidance for the screening, qualification, test, and reliable use of EEE parts by NASA, in collaboration with other government agencies and industry. The NASA Electronic Parts Assurance Group (NEPAG) is a core portion of NEPP.
Graphics Processing Units (GPU) have emerged as a proven technology that enables high performance computing and parallel processing in a small form factor. GPUs enhance the traditional computer paradigm by permitting acceleration of complex mathematics and providing the capability to perform weighted calculations, such as those in artificial intelligence systems. Despite the performance enhancements provided by this type of microprocessor, there exist tradeoffs in regards to reliability and radiation susceptibility, which may impact mission success. This report provides an insight into GPU architecture and its potential applications in space and other similar markets. It also discusses reliability, qualification, and radiation considerations for testing GPUs.
This presentation will include information about Double Data Rate (DDR) technology, NASA Electronic Parts and Packaging (NEPP) tasks and their purpose, collaborations, a roadmap, NEPP partners, results to date, and future plans.
