International Journal of Parallel Programming, Volume 53, Issue 2, April 2025, Article number 80885-7458https://doi.org/10.1007/s10766-025-00790-7https://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/23528Parallel and signal processing patterns for large-scale radio data applications have been captured with a new domain-specific language (DSL), OptiSDR. The intermediate representations (IR) of the code are optimized at the frontend with the Delite compiler targeted for heterogeneous computing architecture (HCA). The design flow begins at the abstract programming model and, at a later stage, addresses tuning of the domain applications to the target HCA comprising GPUs and MCPU, as well as scheduling and optimal memory access. For a variety of signal processing use cases, the framework has shown up to two orders of magnitude higher computational speed than MPI and C++ and comparable performance to architecture-specific CUDA. Additional gains are ease of use, scalable computing, and efficient runtime.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Distributed Computing4606 Distributed computing and systems softwareArticle1573-76405651658532
