Guidance, Navigation and Control Digital Emulation Technology Laboratory. Volume 1. Part 1. Task 1: Digital Emulation Technology Laboratory
Abstract
The Digital Emulation Technology Laboratory (formerly referred to as the KEW Digital Emulation Laboratory) is a principal unit within the Computer Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) at Georgia Tech. This report addresses the objectives, requirements, and schedule of the Digital Emulation Technology Laboratory (DETL), relative to contract number DASG60-89-C-0142. This contract concerns primarily activity associated with the effort to develop an integrated hardware and software environment for end-to-end emulations of exoatmospheric interceptors such as EXOSIM. This includes the Georgia Tech Parallel Function Processor (PFP, system software for the PFP (utilities and parallel programming tools), and application software (EXOSIM). Some discussion of interfaces to specialized external hardware like the Seeker Scene Emulator (SSE) will also be included. Within DETL, there are two main hardware systems: the Parallel Function Processor (PFP) and the Seeker Scene Emulator (SSE). Each of these systems is a complex parallel processor, designed to function together as an emulation facility for kinetic energy weapons systems. Software development is also an active area of research, both at the system level (compilers, loaders, graphics development) and at the application level (simulation and emulation studies).
