摘要: 本文系统地回顾了美国、欧洲及我国在宇航用处理器领域的技术演进, 重点分析基于PowerPC架构的美国代表性处理器产品以及采用SPARC架构的欧洲与我国典型处理器方案. 研究揭示, 未来宇航用处理器的发展将显著分化为通用型与智能型两大技术路线. 通用型宇航用处理器将呈现高性能(如提升多核并行计算能力)、高集成度(如实现系统级芯片)、高可靠性(如强化抗辐照设计)及低功耗的协同发展趋势, 而智能型处理器将侧重于提升在轨实时智能信息处理能力.Abstract: This paper provides a systematic review of the technological evolution of aerospace processors in the United States (U.S.), Europe, and China. It primarily analyzes representative U.S. processor products based on the PowerPC architecture, as well as typical European and Chinese processor solutions that utilize the SPARC architecture. The research identifies that the future development of aerospace processors will significantly diverge into two main technical directions: General-purpose and intelligent processors. General-purpose aerospace processors will follow a coordinated trend of increased performance (such as enhanced multi-core parallel computing capabilities), higher integration (such as implementation of system-on-chip designs), improved reliability (such as enhanced radiation-hardened designs), and reduced power consumption. In contrast, intelligent processors will concentrate on advancing real-time intelligent information processing capabilities in-orbit.
