MPAI: A Co-Processing Architecture with MPSoC & AI Accelerators for Vision Applications in Space
<|reference_start|>MPAI: A Co-Processing Architecture with MPSoC & AI Accelerators for Vision Applications in Space: The emerging need for fast and power-efficient AI/ML deployment on-board spacecraft has forced the space industry to examine specialized accelerators, which have been successfully used in terrestrial applications. Towards this direction, the current work introduces a very heterogeneous co-processing architecture that is built around UltraScale+ MPSoC and its programmable DPU, as well as commercial AI/ML accelerators such as MyriadX VPU and Edge TPU. The proposed architecture, called MPAI, handles networks of different size/complexity and accommodates speed-accuracy-energy trade-offs by exploiting the diversity of accelerators in precision and computational power. This brief provides technical background and reports preliminary experimental results and outcomes.<|reference_end|>
