Design and Analysis of a Dynamic SpaceWire Routing Protocol for Reconfigurable and Distributed On-Board Computing Systems

Hari Krishnan, Prem Kumar January 2019 (has links)
Future spacecrafts will require more computational and processing power to keep up with the growing demand in requirements and complexity. ScOSA is the next generation on-board computer developed by the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). The main motivation behind ScOSA is to replace the conventional on-board computer with distributed and reconfigurable computing nodes which provides higher performance, reliability, availability and stability by using a combination of the COTS components and reliable computing processors that are space qualified. In the current ScOSA system reconfiguration and routing of data between nodes are based on a static decision graph. SpaceWire protocol is used to communicate between nodes to provide reliability. The focus of the thesis is to design and implement a dynamic routing protocol for ScOSA which can be used in future for not only communicating between the nodes but also for reconfiguration. SpaceWire IPC is a customized protocol developed by DLR to provide communication between the nodes in a distributed network and to support monitoring, management and reconfiguration services. The dynamic routing protocol proposed in this thesis is primarily derived from the monitoring mechanism used in the SpaceWire IPC. PULL type monitoring mechanism is modelled and simulated using OMNeT++. The results obtained provide a qualitative outlook of the dynamic routing protocol implemented.
