Software Implementation of 10G-EPON Downstream Physical-Layer Processing Adopting CPU-GPU Cooperative Computing for Flexible Access Systems

The application of network function virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networks (SDNs) to optical access systems continues to attract a lot of attention. Their use on general-purpose hardware allows for cost-effective implementation and quick response to functional requirements. This paper de...
