Data Architecture now plays an important role in business production and its scalability. UCERD proposed a high performance data acquisition system that reads data from a wide range of sensing devices, applies preprocessing, manages it in structure format, and transfer it to the processing unit for advanced decisions.
The proposed High Performance Data Acquisition System (HPDAS) architecture uses the new generation of a high performance computing device with powerful, energy-efficient heterogeneous processing cores and industrial qualified hardware architecture. The system gives support to predictable and real-time embedded applications by implementing data acquisition system that supports multiple analog sensors and digital devices. High performance, dense and application specific memory system is included in the architecture that allows executing real-time, high performance commercial as well as industrial applications. The system uses a high speed intelligent bus system to interface the heterogeneous multi-cores, memories and sensors. It offers open source support that can run a number of Linux operating systems (e.g. Ubuntu, Android etc.). The HPDAS provides easy to use parallel programming framework that helps software programmer to write applications without facing hardware issues. The proposed HPDAS architecture meets the industrial standardizations that include temperature, vibration, robust, ruggedized, EMI/EMC compliant etc. The HPDAS is designed to withstand even the most rugged industrial applications and can solve compute-intensive real-time problems related to industry and defense.
Some salient features of proposed HPDAS architecture is mentioned below:
The HPDAS uses the heterogeneous multi-core processing system having Reduced Instruction Set Computers (RISC) , Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) cores.
To gather data from multiple industrial and commercial devices, the HPDAS uses programmable, parameterizable, multi-channel and high data-rate data acquisition system.
To store the data, the HPDAS uses dense and high-speed permanent memories and high performance local memories for real-time data processing.
To provide programmability and scalability the HPDAS provides support of the operating system and parallel programming models.
To execute the engineering and science related problems, the HPDAS architecture gives a complete board-level support to a variety of scientist and engineering applications.
The system is designed to operate in different industrial environments and is hardened to vibration and temperature and also has high shock resistant.
