SUMMARY:Moving From Software to Hardware: The Start of a Journey
DESCRIPTION:**PLEASE REGISTER HERE**\nhttps://trifork.zoom.us/webinar/regis
 ter/WN_cNYyY19gRFOY_or8XA8lIA\n\nJoin us along with Daniel Wisehart\, inve
 ntor of imaging electronics in CCD-based cameras successfully deployed in 
 NASA missions for a discussion and Q&A on moving hardware to software\, th
 e why and why not\, the problems and how it's done.\n\nWhy?\n● To keep t
 he CPU free to do what SW is better at and to use HW for what it is better
  at.\n● To filter the data noise the SW has to deal with and provide it 
 only with actionable data.\n● To prioritize and sort incoming data into 
 separate channels.\nConfigure HW triggers to act automatically on specific
  data.\n● To speed up tasks that can afford the cost of communicating be
 tween SW and HW.\n● To take advantage of the massively parallel nature o
 f HW.\n● To run long winded parallel process like genetic algorithm sear
 ch\n\nWhy not?\n● CPU is a dynamic\, general purpose\, fetch/fetch/execu
 te/store machine.\n● HW has a set configuration of static structures.\n\
 nWhat are the problems?\n● HW dev takes roughly five times longer than S
 W dev\, so Agile is difficult.\n● A synth/place/route takes one to four 
 hours\, so CI/CD is less helpful.\n● Simulation is available\, but data 
 creation and simulation are slow.\nDebugging in hardware is very limited.\
 n\nHow is it done?\n● Find the people who know FPGAs and who have experi
 ence with PCIe and Network designs.\n● Create an interface between HW an
 d SW that work well for both teams.\n● Create test adapters for both the
  HW and SW team that operate the other side of the interface so they may w
 ork in parallel.\n● Identify a hardware platform--usually a PCIe card--w
 ith a suitable FPGA\, could be an AWS FPGA server.\n● Build out servers 
 to support HW development\, or rent them from AWS.\n\nMore about Daniel:\n
 Daniel Wisehart is a sole inventor of imaging electronics in CCD-based cam
 eras successfully deployed in NASA missions:\n\n● Ultra-low noise\, ultr
 a-low light\, radiation-hardened electronics flew into space on an earth-s
 ensing rocket called VISIONS.\n● Imaging the Mars Lander’s infrared ra
 nge finder during daylight hours from JPL in Southern California during th
 e Lander’s sling-shot around the earth.\n● Custom image sensor for gro
 und testing Hubble’s Wide Field Planetary Camera no. 3 (WFPC3).\n\n**PLE
