On-board anomaly detection from the OPS-SAT telemetry using deep learning
Detecting anomalies from the satellite telemetry is critical  in its safe operation. Classical solutions for this task often utilize  the out-of-limit checks, which allow us to find point anomalies. To  detect other types of events, such as contextual or collective ones, we  can exploit data-driven deep learning-powere...

Fast Data Plane switching with use of Linux user space
With transmission speed of 10 Gb/s there could be as much as 14 million network packet that need to be served by device per second. It means  that Linux network stack has not more then 70ns to serve one network frame. Linux network stack is to slow for that. One system call can take up to 50ns. Does it means we need to...
