AMD EPYC Achieves Performance Leadership In New OCUDU Project For 5G/6G RAN Review
Announced this week at Mobile World Congress (MWC) by the Linux Foundation was the establishing of the OCUDU Ecosystem Foundation for advancing open-source AI-RAN (Radio Access Network) innovations. OCUDU is building a reference platform and innovations around 5G and early 6G network solutions. With OCUDU being benchmark-friendly, I have been putting the early code through some performance tests on current AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon server platforms.

Cohere Technologies is frustrated by the 3GPP process and equipment vendors blocking new waveforms to protect their need to sell more gear and control the key software. It will be interesting to see if Open RAN / OCUDU and this Neural Receiver can shake things up.
The waveform wars are over — if your PHY can run them all. We just dropped a deep-dive on the universal neural receiver developed for mobile networks, and it rewrites the rules for how a physical layer should work. Traditional model-based signal processing locks you into a waveform. Extensive offline training fails when you cross a geography or change a deployment scenario. That's a dead end for a world where CP-OFDM and future waveforms need to coexist. This Neural Receiver demolishes the old rules: - AI-native PHY using reservoir computing for real-time deconvolution - Adapts at sub-millisecond speed — matching the pace of wireless interference itself - Online learning targets only the unknown variables, not the full channel - No offline retraining required — works across environments out of the box - Fully waveform-agnostic: CP-OFDM, Zak-OTFS, and beyond The programmable PHY layer isn't a research concept anymore. It's an engineering reality. 🎧 Listen to the full episode https://cohere-tech.com/podcasts/#11 #6G #OpenRAN #NeuralReceiver #ZakOTFS #WirelessAI #PHY #ReservoirComputing

📡 Telecom got the same treatment.

OpenBTS and OpenBTS-UMTS are patched and building again ➡️ legacy C++ that GCC 15 flatly rejected.

And for 5G SA we've moved to OCUDU as the CU/DU stack.

2G through 5G, still one pull.

I think their intention is to essential force the vendors to support it in some fashion. Shared sharing model or something. The gains of higher efficiency are soo juicy. OCUDU is a wedge to say, hey, we can implement this without you but we prefer not to.
