Nvidia patents software tool to manage 5G tasks on mixed hardware
Nvidia describes a software interface that helps computers decide how to handle 5G wireless signals. It allows the system to check which parts of the processor are free and pick the right hardware to meet specific speed or reliability needs.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to perform one or more APIs. In at least one embodiment, a processor is to perform an API to indicate a number of 5G-NR cells that are able to be performed concurrently by one or more processors; a processor is to perform an API to indicate whether one or more processors are able to perform a first number of 5G-NR cells concurrently; a processor comprising one or more circuits is to perform an API to indicate whether one or more resources of one or more processors are allocated to perform 5G-NR cells; and/or a processor comprises one or more circuits to perform an API to indicate one or more techniques to be used by one or more processors in performing one or more 5G-NR cells.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. One or more processors comprising: circuitry to, in response to a call of an application programming interface (API) that indicates one or more quality-of-service (QoS) requirements: identify one or more processing operations related to a radio access network (RAN); select, based at least on the one or more QoS requirements, one or more hardware processing resources, from a plurality of heterogeneous hardware processing resources, for executing the one or more processing operations; and execute the one or more processing operations using the selected one or more hardware processing resources.
