Talk Hardware for GNU Radio Main Track

Description

Next to CPUs and FPGAs, it is obvious that GPUs play an important role in SDR system implementations. But how do we enable GPUs in a way that is compatible with the modular paradigm of GNU Radio?

In this talk, we shall present how Nvidia's Holoscan has approached this problem, specifically for use with Nvidia GPUs. We present joint work between NI and UT Austin in which we used Nvidia Holocan to build a high-bandwidth, real-time capable signal analysis system.

To conclude, we see which design choices from Holoscan could be useful for GNU Radio.
