GSI Technology FRACTALS Project Partners With SHREC
July 27 2020 - 4:05PM
GSI Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: GSIT), a leading
provider of high-performance memory solutions for the networking,
telecommunications, and military markets, announced that SHREC (NSF
Center for Space, High-Performance, and Resilient Computing) has
partnered with the GSI Technology project FRACTALS [Fault tolerant
and Resilient Associative CompuTing for Artificial inteLligence in
Space].
The goal of FRACTALS is to create modular and cost-effective
computing systems for all space-related efforts, from ground-based
high-performance computing (HPC) data centers to deep-solar-system
exploration missions. GSI Technology's artificial intelligence (AI)
team is committed to the open nature of AI. FRACTALS welcomes
collaborators, like SHREC, to join this effort bringing novel
computing architectures to mission-critical systems in space.
Lee-Lean Shu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GSI
Technology, commented, "In our partnership with SHREC, GSI gains
access to thought leaders and researchers to help us advance the
development and commercialization of our Associative Processing
Unit (APU) processor. SHREC addresses research challenges facing
three domains of mission-critical computing – space computing,
high-performance computing, and resilient computing. Through its
Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC) programs,
the organization develops and supports relationships between
industry innovators, world-class academic teams, and government
leaders. GSI will leverage these resources to advance the APU’s
performance and expand our network in this sector."
"Two space-related trends that benefit Gemini®, our APU
processor, are the increase in satellite launches and far-away
space mission deployments," continued Mr. Shu. "For advanced HPC
systems on Earth processing the incoming data from satellites, our
Gemini delivers significant AI processing advantages in speed and
power. Over time, as more processing ability resides in space,
processors will need high performance and the ability to tolerate
harsh radiation. Radiation tolerant Gemini can provide onboard AI
in severe conditions and process the massive amounts of data
required with a lower power requirement."
Deep learning can consume enormous amounts of data and distill
all of it into compact machine learning models. On Earth, trained
models can be analyzed in advanced HPC systems to perform various
functions like object recognition, language understanding,
predictive analytics, and even complex decision-making. In space,
these processors can use trained models to manage massive amounts
of sensor data to interpret intelligence, predict mission-critical
events, facilitate human-computer interaction, and even empower
local-vehicle autonomy.
As space missions move beyond near Earth satellites to the Moon,
Mars and other planets and potentially beyond the solar system,
onboard AI can provide a balance of storing data and transmitting
it back to Earth in the right amounts. As missions move further
from Earth and AI capability is placed onboard spacecraft, the
varied radiation-imbued environments create significant challenges
for commercial off-the-shelf hardware, necessitating highly custom
implementations, like GSI's radiation-tolerant APU.
