Entwicklung einer Schnittstelle für verteiltes I/O in einer neuen on-board Computerarchitektur.

Abstract

This work is a part of the On-Board-Computer Next-Generation (OBC-NG) project by the German Aerospace Centre. The OBC-NG project surveys a concept for distributed computing on space systems. This thesis is about the Interface-Node component which provides access to the sensors and actuators of the space system. At first there will be an overview of existing techniques in the field of distributed systems. Out of this a concept will be developed for use in embedded systems. To evaluate the concept a prototype for a simulation evironment and for embedded systems will be implemented. Based on this implementation the applied techniques will be evaluated for the use in the OBC-NG System. This thesis shows, that techniques which are used in High-Performance-Computing (HPC) Systemd can be adapted to embedded Systems with severe resource restrictions.
