Methods for generating application for radio-access-network servers with heterogeneous accelerators

A system for generating instruction code for a cluster of accelerators for execution on one or more radio access network (RAN) servers in a RAN, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the system to:
• receive a set of application code via an application programming interface (API);
• identify, based on the set of application code, one or more common functional blocks for performing a task, wherein the task is associated with processing data traffic in the RAN;
• determine accelerator-agnostic task instruction code, wherein the accelerator-agnostic task instruction code corresponds to the identified one or more common functional blocks;
• identify an accelerator for performing the task from a set of heterogeneous accelerators associated with one or more RAN servers;
• translate the accelerator-agnostic task instruction code into an accelerator-specific executable, wherein the accelerator-specific executable is executable on the identified accelerator;
• schedule the accelerator-specific executable to offload processing of the set of application code from a central processor to the identified accelerator;
• and
• cause the identified accelerator to execute the accelerator-specific executable for performing the task.

A computer-readable recording medium storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computer system to:

• receive a set of application code via an application programing interface (API);
• identify, based on the set of application code, one or more common functional blocks for performing a task, wherein the task is associated with processing data traffic in the RAN;
• determine accelerator-agnostic task instruction code, wherein the accelerator-agnostic task instruction code corresponds to the identified one or more common functional blocks;
