I'm not a MAC/PHY guy, but the insight they use of substituting LUTs for
real algorithmic modulators seems to be
a keen way to trade CPU cycles for memory. If they haven't already
patented that (note that M$ was involved), then
I think it would be a fine thing to perform some flattery :-)
The PCIe-x8 interface sounds kind of yummy as well. The other
stuff--well, rather ordinary.
SIMD Gnu Radio has this
Multi-core ready Gnu Radio has this
Next?
