AirStack is a powerful software ecosystem that integrates AI, FPGA acceleration, and SDR capabilities into a streamlined development framework. Its containerized workflow, high-performance hardware integration, and support for leading AI frameworks make it an essential tool for next-generation AI-driven signal processing applications.
Deepwave’s AirStack serves as the core software and application programming interface (API) for the AIR-T, enabling ultra-low-latency RF data transfer between the radio frequency (RF) system and NVIDIA GPUs for AI-driven analysis at the edge. This compact yet powerful software package includes all the necessary software and drivers for seamless communication with the AIR-T platform. It supports local or networked control of the transmitter, receiver, FPGA firmware, GPS, GPU drivers, Linux operating system, and Deepwave’s patented memory management drivers.
Designed for high-performance throughput applications, this architecture enables direct data transfer from RF receivers to a GPU-accelerated SDR system, optimizing memory management and minimizing latency. By utilizing GPU/CPU shared memory, the system efficiently executes AI-driven algorithms and parallel processing tasks. With the addition of a digital signal processor (DSP), wideband signal data passes through an FPGA for preprocessing before being written to shared memory, enabling enhanced data reduction, modulation, and other signal processing functions. This technology powers AirStack, offering a unique solution for demanding SDR applications.
