Evaluation of the Parallel features of Rust for Space Systems

The rise in complexity of the algorithms run on space systems, largely attributable to higher resolution instruments which generate a large amount of the data to be processed, as well as to the need for increased autonomy which relies on Neural Network inference systems in future missions, demand th...
