High-Performance Software Emulation of 1750A Processor
We describe a software emulator of the MIL-STD-1750A architecture that executes 1750A code at a rate of about 4 MIPS on a Sun 200MHz Ultra2 work-station, and effectively several times faster than that when application-specific optimizations are used.

Cassini Solid State Recorder: A High Capacity, Radiation Tolerant High-Performance Unit
Onboard the Cassini spacecraft, and the subject of this paper, are two Solid State Recorders designed and built by TRW, Inc., of Redondo Beach, California, for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. These recorders, which were the first ones designed and selected by NASA for a space program, represent the new frontier and a new beginning for spaceborne data storage.

Options for Radiation Tolerant High-Performance Memory
Memory technologies were reviewed for radiation effects performance in order to determine the most cost-efficient target for a possible memory investment targeted at creating a memory component of general applicability for space use. TID and SEL trends that had indicated improvement in intrinsic performance based on scaling cannot be trusted. SEE hardening of memory arrays is prohibitive in terms of cell-level power and area requirements. Radiation-hardened cells and custom controllers are recommended for future memory developments.

High Performance Space Computing with System-on-Chip Instrument Avionics for Space-based Next Generation Imaging Spectrometers (NGIS).
The emergent technology of system-on-chip (SoC) devices promises lighter, smaller, cheaper, and more capable and reliable space electronic systems that could help to unveil some of the most treasured secrets in our universe. This technology is an improvement over the technology that is currently used in space applications, which lags behind stateof-the-art commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment by several generations. SoC technology integrates all computational power required by next-generation space exploration science instruments onto a single chip. This presentation will describe a Xilinx Zynq-based data acquisition, cloud-screening and compression computing system that has been developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for JPL’s Next Generation Imaging Spectrometers (NGIS). The Xilinx Zynq-based Alpha Data hardware assembly fits into a 120mm by 190m by 40mm assembly and uses 9 watts at peak performance. The computing element is a Xilinx Zynq Z7045Q which includes a Kintex-7 FPGA (equivalent to 3 RAD Virtex5 FPGAs in terms of logic cell resources) and dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Processors (equivalent to 10 RAD750 Power PCs in term of processing capability).
