Abstract:
|
Current Software-Defined Radio applications
(waveforms) are tailored to specific hardware. Processor vendors frequently adapt internal OS mechanisms for its specific
architecture (e.g. scheduling and synchronization). The Abstraction Layer and Operating Environment (ALOE) is an open source SDR operating environment that isolates platform architecture from the
application design. An integrated resource manager is capable of automatically mapping waveform components to a network of
heterogeneous processors while meeting the waveform’s real-time requirements. This paper analyzes the ALOE performance for x86
and ARM processors. It presents computing histograms of UTRAN transceiver components, the maximum achievable throughput of a
simple BPSK modem, interface latencies, and overhead measurements of the ALOE background processes. |
