Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Hardware/Software Codesign Methodology for High Performance On-Board Processing applied on the Artificial Intelligence of Space
20STDPL35
(20STDPL35) The objective of this project is to increase the functionality of our HW/SW codesign methodology by targeting high performance on-board processing platforms that are made of CPU-FPGA architectures and target artificial intelligence applications in space, more specifically based on Deep Neural Network (DNN).
We will target for Spacecraft Pose Estimation to demonstrate the potential of these processing platforms.
We will concentrate on the inference part of deep learning that can be implemented as a payload application on the satellite.
This project aims to develop new techniques allowing the optimal use of the on¬board processing resources offered by CPU-FPGA platforms, while reducing the effort and the time to market.
The project is developing technologies in several directions that benefits many Canadian companies.

Aerospace designers often use software that simulates complex electronic systems to evaluate the performance of different architectures and to refine software and hardware early in the development stage.
Heterogeneous computing systems (systems using more than one type of processor) offer advantages over homogenous systems in terms of speed and agility in processing, but aerospace simulation software has not yet been designed for computing systems with more than one processor. Space Codesign Systems proposes to develop a heterogeneous computing platform which will allow aerospace designers to more easily and efficiently design models of complex electronic systems, including those with embedded systems.
