Coherent Logix Launches
'HyperX: Midnight', World's Most Advanced Space
Processor
March 13, 2023
Coherent Logix, and
advanced development tools, announced the launch
of HyperX: Midnight, the company's fourth
generation HyperX™ SoC for the Space 2.0 market.
Coherent Logix has been
serving the Space 2.0 and Defense markets for 15
years. In these markets, high-performance
computing (HPC) with low power draw and
radiation hardening is the absolute key to
success. With the release of HyperX: Midnight,
Coherent Logix now leads the market with up to
four times the computing throughput, half the
power consumption and a 40 percent lower price
point as compared to leading radiation-hardened
FPGAs. This high-performance, low-SWaP (Size,
Weight, and Power) combination is a game-changer
for Space 2.0 companies, enabling far greater
capabilities to be packaged in smaller satellite
buss sizes, dramatically lowering launch costs,
and accelerating industry growth.
In keeping with Coherent
Logix's mission of "Redefining Hardware as
Software™," HyperX: Midnight also brings
software-defined operations, C-programmability
and simplified software debugging to the Space
2.0 community. Combined with Coherent Logix's
HyperX Studio design suite, these features
enable four times faster development cycles
compared to the rigors of developing for FPGAs,
and offer full on-orbit re-programmability, so
improvements can continue long after launch.
"The next space race is
here for both commercial and government
operators. With our HyperX: Midnight SoCs, we
are delivering decisive advantages in launch
cost, time-to-market and spacecraft
functionality to our customers, " said Coherent
Logix CEO Walt Gall.
The HyperX family of SoCs
includes processors for terrestrial markets as
well, with the same computing, efficiency, and
programmability features. HyperX SoCs support
market solutions across several sectors,
including consumer electronics, 5G mobile
infrastructure, video/broadcast infrastructure,
machine vision, sensor processing and AI.
"Satellite/terrestrial
convergence is a key theme in the industry,"
Gall said. "With the addition of HyperX:
Midnight, we enable development of
software-defined solutions for security,
communications, AI, and imaging that serve both
Space 2.0 and terrestrial interests in one
common effort. That is just one more example of
how HyperX is Ready for Life at the Edge™."
