Project description
Keeping cool with hot avionics systems
Things are heating up for electronics, literally. As electronic devices get smaller and more powerful, designers are faced with the growing challenge of optimising processing speed. Faster processors necessitate increased power consumption, which generates heat. The EU-funded project THERMAC is tackling thermal management challenges for avionics systems in small aircraft. Advanced thermal modelling tools should allow the design of smaller, lighter and higher-performance computing platforms that integrate a larger number of functionalities.
Objective
The THERMAC project aims to investigate, develop, and validate emerging thermal-aware software-based techniques that will reduce operating temperature of avionic computing platforms in small aircraft transports. The project specifically targets the integration of multicore and GPU-based platforms in avionics from a thermal perspective. The expected impact of the improved thermal performance will improve dependability, computing performance, and will reduce size and weight of electronics due to relaxed dissipation requirements and the higher number of functionalities that can be integrated in the same computing platform.
