Architecture of Massively Parallel Microprocessor Systems

by Patrick Stakem ...

Series series Computer Architecture
In the last 11 years, a lot has changed in this field. That's to be expected in a technology that is driven by Moore's Law, where complexity doubles every 18 months or so. So we have a factor of 7 or so, but actually the rate of change is increasing.Where we are today is machines built with multiple cores on one chip, each core being a complete computer. The same communication schemes discussed in ... Read more

Exploration of Lunar & Martian Lava Tubes by Cube-X

by Patrick Stakem ...

Series series Cubesats
This book discusses the subject of lava tubes on Earth, the Moon and Mars, and their potential applications for habitats and planetary settlements. To implement this, we need robotic explorers that can scout the lava tubes. This book will discuss an approach for that, using Cube-Xs, which are standardized architectures, based on the Cubesat model. Lava tubes are primary caves, not formed from the ... Read more

Energy Storage

by Patrick Stakem ...

This is a book on energy storage. Most electrical energy is AC, and is used when generated. Direct current is stored in battery, but there is no such things as an AC battery. There are other ways to store the energy. Solar cells only produce electricity during the day, and we might need the energy at night. Hydro power system generate power when there is a sufficient amount of water flow. Nuclear ... Read more

Solar Sailing for Cubesats

by Patrick Stakem ...

Series series Cubesats
This book will discuss the topic of sailing on the solar wind, the continuous outpouring of photons from the Sun. When these photons reflects off the sail, they give a “push” to it, exchange a small amount of momentum. In the vacuum of space, this builds up fairly quickly. As the bombardment is continuous, the velocity keeps building up as well. A solar powered craft can be steered by changing the ... Read more
