Software Competitiveness International is among the 10 Greek agencies, with great expertise in the field of space applications and ICT solutions, that are a part of the SPACE 4.0 project. The SPACE 4.0 project focuses on the development of integrated and technologically advanced and innovative space applications and services.
The SPACE 4.0 project started in July 2022 and is expected to be completed by December 2023. SoftCom-Int is participating in the implementation of Work Package 3, namely the collaborative project “Design and development of advanced infrastructure and cloud service of the ground segment of satellite data payload”, and is responsible for action D3.5 “Acceleration of algorithms with parallel processing techniques”. SoftCom-Int’s contribution to the project consists of research on the parallelization of the most time-consuming processes that take place during the processing of satellite data to create new data products (Payload Data Ground Segment processing).
So far, research has been done on the current technological state of processes parallelization from other similar applications, the appropriate implementation methodologies for the parallelization of payload processing as well as the parallelization algorithms of the various satellite data processes.
At the moment, approximately 60% of the work package is complete (status: 31.5.2023).
More specifically the following research has been completed:
The following are in progress:
In addition, software prototypes are applied that implement this parallel process, according to the alternatives that emerged from the above research.
