NVIDIA Aerial™ CUDA-Accelerated RAN is an application framework for building commercial-grade, software-defined, GPU-accelerated, cloud-native 5G/6G networks. It enables a fully cloud-native virtual 5G RAN solution to support a wide range of next-generation edge AI and RAN services using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers.
The platform supports full inline GPU acceleration of layer 1 (cuPHY) and GPU accelerated functions of layer 2 (cuMAC) of the 5G/6G stack. It supports a full stack framework for a gNB integration L2/L3 (MAC, RLC, PDCP), along with manageability and orchestration. Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN also supports non 5G signal processing use cases.
The NVIDIA Aerial™ CUDA-Accelerated RAN package simplifies building programmable and scalable software-defined 5G vRAN using COTS servers with NVIDIA GPUs and has been deployed in commercial and research networks.
The NVIDIA Aerial™ CUDA-Accelerated RAN collection includes the source code and a single Docker container comprised of:
