Latency and energy characterization of 5G LDPC FEC Decoding on CPU and GPU

CloudRIC is a system that meets specific reliability targets in 5G FEC processing while sharing pools of heterogeneous processors among DUs, which leads to more cost- and energy-efficient vRANs. The details of the solution are presented in CloudRIC: Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) Virtualization with Shared Heterogeneous Computing. These repository provides a dataset, analyzed therein, with experiments carried out with different 5G LDPC decoding processors: (i) Intel FlexRAN library and two open-source alternative libraries on an Intel Xeon Gold 6240R CPU, and (ii) a proprietary driver on an NVIDIA GPU V100. See README file for a description of the dataset.
