Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques including APIs to enable one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) network components to write, read, send, transmit, load, or otherwise obtain packaging, synchronization, and/or management information. For example, a processor comprising one or more circuits to perform an application programming interface (API) to cause fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) packaging, synchronization, or management information to be indicated to one or more accelerators.

Claims (25)

1. A processor comprising:

one or more circuits to perform an application programming interface (API) to cause one or more graphics processing units (GPUs) to write fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) information to storage, wherein the 5G-NR information includes:

management information to modify a radio unit; and

power level information of one or more antennas to use when transmitting one or more fifth generation (5G) data packets.

2. The processor of claim 1 , wherein the 5G-NR information includes number of antennas.

3. The processor of claim 1 , wherein the radio unit is in an open radio access network.

4. The processor of claim 1 , wherein the one or more GPUs pass the 5G-NR information from a distributed unit to a network interface without reading the 5G-NR information.

5. The processor of claim 1 , wherein the one or more GPUs perform a bypass operation to directly provide the 5G-NR information to a network interface controller.

6. A system, comprising memory to store instructions that, as a result of performance by one or more processors, cause the system to perform an application programming interface (API) to cause one or more graphics processing units (GPUs) to write fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) information to storage, wherein the 5G-NR information includes:

management information to modify a radio unit; and

power level information of one or more antennas to use when transmitting one or more fifth generation (5G) data packets.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the 5G-NR information includes a number of antennas to use when transmitting a 5G-NR signal.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the radio unit is in an open radio access network.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the one or more GPUs pass the management information through a distributed unit without reading the management information.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the one or more GPUs perform a bypass operation to directly provide the management information to a network interface controller.

11. A method comprising:

performing an application programming interface (API) to cause one or more graphics processing units (GPUs) to write fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) information to storage, wherein the 5G-NR information includes:

management information to modify a radio unit; and

power level information of one or more antennas to use when transmitting one or more fifth generation (5G) data packets.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the 5G-NR information includes a number of antennas.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the radio unit is in an open radio access network.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more GPUs pass the 5G-NR information from a distributed unit to a network interface card without reading the 5G-NR information.

15. The processor of claim 1 , wherein the one or more circuits further cause the one or more GPUs to generate the 5G-NR information.

16. The system of claim 6 , wherein the system further causes the one or more GPUs to generate the 5G-NR information.

17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising causing the one or more GPUs to generate the 5G-NR information.
