The HyperX Processor and Software-Defined Radio Development

This webinar introduces the HyperX computing platform and related development tools. The HyperX network processor is a massive parallel processing system composed of a network of processing elements embedded in an array of data memory and routing units. This scalable processing fabric supports the rapid development of software-based computationally intensive virtualized systems that could otherwise be embedded in hardware. The HyperX software approach allows significant flexibility in designing and developing applications while running on low power consumption. HyperX processors can be used in many different areas of application, and the exemplary field of software-defined radio is presented here together with an illustrative implementation of a full ATSC 3.0 receiver in real life. The juxtaposition of physical layer functional blocks with specific HyperX resources demonstrates the C-based development process, and the verification and verification of the integrated receiver show some of the available HyperX tools. The 100% software-based and virtualized physical layer ATSC 3.0 can be easily updated in the field as desired, and the specific components of the receiver can be easily reused and integrated into other communication applications.
