TL;DR: NASA/MSFC is attacking the problem of application dependent processor configuration with the MSFC conception and development of the Space Ultrareliable Modular Compuer (SUMC).
Abstract: The current and continuing needs for advanced space data processing require the critical selection and application of specially configured computer processors. This requirement generally results in unacceptable delays in software development as existing systems are typically unresponsive to required language or code generative changes. NASA/MSFC is attacking the problem of application dependent processor configuration with the MSFC conception and development of the Space Ultrareliable Modular Compuer (SUMC). The SUMC provides for tailored architecture through reconfigurable hardware design and flexible software development via microprogramming. Adaptable system and subsystem processors provide a modular systematic solution for achieving application responsive goals at both the hardware and software levels.
