## Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques including APIs to enable one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) network components to write, read, send, transmit, load, or otherwise obtain packaging, synchronization, and/or management information. For example, a processor comprising one or more circuits to perform an application programming interface (API) to cause fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) packaging, synchronization, or management information to be indicated to one or more accelerators.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A processor comprising: one or more circuits to perform an application programming interface (API) to cause one or more graphics processing units (GPUs) to generate synchronization information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The processor of claim 1, wherein the synchronization information includes one or more time slots to transmit one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) data packets.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The processor of claim 1, wherein the synchronization information includes information to indicate whether a device is a master or slave device.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The processor of claim 1, wherein the synchronization information includes information that indicates clock offset of one or more processors.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The processor of claim 1, wherein the synchronization information includes information that indicates one or more frames to transmit one or more 5G-NR data packets.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The processor of claim 1, wherein the synchronization information includes information that indicates precision time protocol information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The processor of claim 1, wherein the one or more GPUs are to write the synchronization information to memory of a network interface controller.

### Claim 8

A system, comprising memory to store instructions that, as a result of performance by one or more processors, cause the system to perform an application programming interface (API) to cause one or more graphics processing units (GPUs) to generate synchronization information.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the synchronization information includes one or more time slots to transmit one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) data packets.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the synchronization information includes information to indicate whether a device is a master or slave device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the synchronization information includes information that indicates clock offset of one or more processors.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the synchronization information includes information that indicates one or more frames to transmit one or more 5G-NR data packets.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the synchronization information includes information that indicates precision time protocol information.

### Claim 14 (depends on 8)

The system of claim 8, wherein the one or more GPUs are to write the synchronization information to memory of a network interface card.

### Claim 15

A method comprising:
performing an application programming interface (API) to cause one or more graphics processing units (GPUs) to generate synchronization information.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the synchronization information includes one or more time slots to transmit one or more fifth generation new radio (5G-NR) data packets.

### Claim 17 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the synchronization information includes information to indicate whether a device is a master or slave device.

### Claim 18 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the synchronization information includes information that indicates clock offset of one or more processors.

### Claim 19 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the synchronization information includes information that indicates one or more frames to transmit one or more 5G-NR data packets.

### Claim 20 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, wherein the synchronization information includes information that indicates precision time protocol information.
