5G RAN Acceleration with GPU and DPDK

Learn about NVIDIA Aerial SDK's implementation of 5G RAN acceleration in this technical talk that explores how DPDK libraries and technologies enable high-performance software-defined 5G L1 stack optimization through GPU parallel processing. Discover the detailed architecture of baseband unit software for handling wireless client data frames through radio units, with deep dives into crucial DPDK building blocks including eCPRI flow steering rules, GPUDirect RDMA, CPU-GPU interaction, and accurate send scheduling. Explore the comprehensive integration of these components to achieve ORAN-compliant 5G software implementation, covering topics from hardware stack and data flow to uplink processing, signal processing, and accuracy scheduling. Master the fundamentals of network performance acceleration using DPDK libraries, which operate primarily in Linux userland across x86, POWER, and ARM processors, with additional FreeBSD support for select features.
