Software Defined Radio (SDR) describes the change in wireless communication architectures from inflexible application-specific hardware to software-programmable architectures. SDR systems offer more flexibility and potentially shorter development cycles than traditional hardware architectures. This may lead to a significant reduction of development costs. Yet, programmable architectures require more energy and achieve lower throughput than optimized application-specific hardware. Single-instruction, multiple data (SIMD) processor architectures aim at bridging this gap by processing long data...
