  1. GPS/INS Computing System Performed by: Alexander Pavlov David Domb Supervisor: Mony Orbach Mid semester presentation Spring 2008/9

  2. Agenda 1. General overview 2. Our Project 3. The Design 4. What’s Next… GPS/INS Computing System

  3. General overview “Even Noah got no salary for the first six months partly on account of the weather and partly because he was learning navigation.” Mark Twain GPS/INS Computing System

  4. Theoretical Navigation Algorithm • Developed in the “Technion” and Implements the tightly coupled INS/GPS navigation unit, with the particle filter. • The algorithm stages: GPS/INS Computing System

  5. Project Goals GPS/INS Computing System

  6. Our Project GPS Computing System

  7. General Project will be performed in 2 stages. First part in this semester. Project will be performed by several work groups Our group will implement Particle Propagation and State Estimation stages in this first part. Both stages need to be performed whit in 0.01 sec, regardless of other stages performance. GPS Computing System

  8. Group Project Goals – Part 1 GPS/INS Computing System

  9. The Design GPS/INS Computing System

  10. Design guidelines Constrains: • large amount of calculations • Limited hardware • real-time results Selected solution: • Combining Parallel processing whit Pipelines. GPS/INS Computing System

  14. Controller Algorithm • While “FIFO” is NOT empty: • Every 5 clock cycles, send a new particle from the “FIFO”, into the “TOP_6_PROP” (asserting the “START” signal to ‘1’). • Keepcount of “START” signals given. • Keepcount of “FINISH” signals from the “TOP_6_PROP”. • For every “FINISH” signal, send the matching weight vector and new propagated particle to the “TOP_ESTIMATION”.

  16. Particle propagation unit clock finish reset start GPS/INS Computing System

  17. Particle propagation unit GPS/INS Computing System

  18. Propagation timing control • Every “START” = ‘1’ : counter = counter +1 • Propagation unit i starts when: “START” = ‘1’ AND counter mod 6 = i. • “FINISH” = ‘1’ when: “finish_i” = ‘1’ for all i. GPS/INS Computing System

  24. Estimation unit W X GPS/INS Computing System

  25. Timing Analysis • 1 particle LATENCY – 50 clock cycles (from “start” to “finish”) of propagation and weighting (according to simulation). • Propagation stage LATENCY – 45 clocks. • Estimation stage LATENCY – 5 clocks. • With a pipeline (Throughput) of 5 clocks, and 6 parallel propagation units : • 30,000 particles in 105,050 clocks = • = 7.5 ms @ 20Mhz. GPS/INS Computing System

  26. COMMENTS • NO sin/cos blocks: • the design uses a “DUMMY” block with a latency of 30 clocks and no throughput. • The estimation of the quaternion matrix is left to be resolved by another grope (by software). The matrix is part of the design’s output. GPS/INS Computing System

  27. MID-Results   According to the initial timing analysis, we will probably be able to meet the timing demands - “with time to spare”. GPS/INS Computing System

  29. Things to do • Synthesis. • Simulations and testing on the board. • Final report. GPS/INS Computing System
