Issues with Current HPEC Development Inadequacy of Software Practices & Standards Predator U-2 Global Hawk MK-48 Torpedo JSTARS MSAT-Air Rivet Joint F-16 Standard Missile P-3/APS-137 NSSN AEGIS System Development/Acquisition Stages 4 Years 4 Years 4 Years Program Milestones System Tech. Development System Field Demonstration Engineering/ manufacturing Development Insertion to Military Asset Signal Processor Evolution 1st gen. 3rd gen. 2nd gen. 4th gen. 5th gen. 6th gen. • High Performance Embedded Computing pervasive through DoD applications • Airborne Radar Insertion program • 85% software rewrite for each hardware platform • Missile common processor • Processor board costs < $100k • Software development costs > $100M • Torpedo upgrade • Two software re-writes required after changes in hardware design Today – Embedded Software Is: • Not portable • Not scalable • Difficult to develop • Expensive to maintain
Quantitative Goals & Impact Demonstrate Portability (3x) Productivity (3x) Object Oriented Open Standards HPEC Software Initiative Interoperable & Scalable Prototype Develop Performance (1.5x) The Three P’s • Program Goals • Develop and integrate software technologies for embedded parallel systems to address portability, productivity, and performance • Engage acquisition community to promote technology insertion • Deliver quantifiable benefits Portability:reduction inlines-of-code to change port/scale to new system Productivity:reduction in overall lines-of-code Performance:computation and communication benchmarks
