Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Creating interoperability between disaggregated computing resources in 5G-NR architecture is time-consuming and resource-intensive.
Innovation Solution
Implementing an application programming interface (API) that facilitates data transfer between 5G-NR computing resources by abstracting transport protocols, allowing applications to communicate with hardware accelerators without knowledge of their specific transport configurations, using transport abstraction layer APIs to manage buffer allocation and transfer.

1Productivity
If traditional methods are used to create interoperability between disaggregated computing resources, then connectivity can be established, but significant time and computing resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a transport abstraction layer as an intermediary between applications and hardware accelerators. This layer provides standardized API interfaces that translate application requests into hardware-specific operations, eliminating the need for direct integration between each application and each hardware accelerator. The abstraction layer handles protocol conversion, buffer management, and resource allocation automatically, dramatically reducing the time and resources required to establish interoperability.
Solution Approach 2:
The transport abstraction layer implements universal API interfaces that can work with multiple types of hardware accelerators (GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, DPUs) through a common interface. This multi-functionality allows a single application to communicate with different hardware accelerators without modification, and allows hardware accelerators to be swapped or added without changing the application code, thereby accelerating interoperability establishment.
2Productivity
If direct integration is used between applications and hardware accelerators, then specific transport configurations can be optimized, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the integration complexity into two separate layers: the transport abstraction layer handles the complex protocol translation, buffer management, and resource allocation, while the application layer focuses on high-level data processing logic. This segmentation isolates the complexity in a manageable intermediary layer, allowing applications to maintain simplicity while still achieving optimized data transfer through the abstraction layer's efficient implementation.
3Reliability
If custom integration is performed for each hardware accelerator, then specific transport protocols can be optimized, but ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The transport abstraction layer acts as an intelligent intermediary that translates standardized application requests into hardware-specific optimized operations. Applications interact with simple, uniform API interfaces while the abstraction layer automatically applies protocol-specific optimizations for different hardware accelerators. This maintains ease of operation for applications while preserving the benefits of custom protocol optimization at the implementation level.
