ACilk Implementation of LTE Base-station uplink on the TILEPro64 Processor

Abstract

Cilk is a multithreaded programming language developed by MIT. It has a significant feature that its runtime system can schedule the tasks among different processors automatically, leaving the programmer away from those burdens and focusing on exploring parallelism and locality. In this thesis, a Cilk program which implements an LTE Base-station uplink has been written and ported to the TILEPro64 processor. The performance of the Cilk program on X86 platform and Tilera platform is evaluated and compared with a Pthreads version of the same serial version.
