Streaming Processor for Advanced Spectrum Sensing
Abstract
This work presents a fast-programmable streaming processor for spectrum sensing in dynamic RF environments. To respond to rapidly changing RF channels, the 2D array of 77 processing elements is tightly integrated with a light-weight kernel launcher that achieves 10 ns array reconfiguration without host-CPU intervention. The processor is able to analyze multiple heterogeneous signals/channels in highly dynamic conditions and achieves a compute density of 248.5 GFLOPS /mm2 and an energy efficiency of 1.67 TFLOPS/W.
