Published: 19 Aug. 2024, 19:17
The processor, named TetraPLEX, was delivered on an Italian satellite aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 into orbit last Friday, according to the company.
Developed in collaboration with Nvidia, TetraPLEX enables efficient, on-the-spot data analysis directly within the satellite, allowing AI processing and edge computing in space, the company said.
With this launch, TetraPlex will demonstrate high-speed parallel processing of satellite big data AI models in real time, and test satellite image preprocessing algorithms and its stability in a radiation-accumulating environment.
"Through this demonstration in space, TelePIX has secured space heritage, laying the foundation for the company to enter the global space market," Kim Seong-hui, chief technology officer at TelePIX, said.
