SystemTechniques · 7Primitives · 31 ran Clock synchronizationdistributed · medium: Estimate a clock's offset from four timestamps, filter out queueing noise, and steer the clock smoothly; NTP gets about a millisecond, PTP with hardware timestamps under a microsecond.›Channel estimationsignal-processing · medium: Pilot-based LS/MMSE channel estimation and interpolation across time and frequencyLdpc codessignal-processing · medium: Low-density parity-check codes with soft-decision min-sum decoding, used in NAND flashLink adaptationsignal-processing · medium: Choose modulation and coding from channel quality with outer-loop BLER controlMimo detectionsignal-processing · medium: Linear MMSE, SIC and sphere decoding to separate spatially multiplexed streamsOfdm time frequency synchronizationsignal-processing · medium: Cell search and synchronization: PSS/SSS correlation, CFO and timing estimationPolar codessignal-processing · medium: Polar codes with successive-cancellation list decoding and CRC aidFast Fourier transformnumerics · low: Computes the DFT in O(n log n) by recursively splitting into even and odd halves; the basis of fast convolution and spectral methods.›Ofdm modulationsignal-processing · low: OFDM via IFFT/FFT, cyclic prefix, subcarrier mapping and PAPR handlingSIMD programminghardware-os · low: Process 4-16 lanes per instruction with AVX2, AVX-512 or NEON via Rust std::arch, with runtime dispatch and a portable fallback.›Qam soft demappingsignal-processing · low: PSK/QAM constellation mapping and max-log LLR soft demapping for decodersHybrid arqsignal-processing · low: HARQ with chase/incremental-redundancy soft combining and parallel stop-and-wait processesCRC32C checksumshardware-os · low: The Castagnoli CRC-32 with dedicated instructions on x86 (SSE4.2) and ARMv8. It is the standard fast integrity check for storage blocks, logs and network frames.›Block floating point compressioncompression · low: Shared-exponent block floating point for IQ samples (fronthaul) and low-bit numeric dataReal time linux schedulingembedded · low: PREEMPT_RT, SCHED_FIFO/DEADLINE, CPU isolation and mlockall for low-jitter loopsAsn1 encodingnetworking · low: ASN.1 schemas with BER/DER/PER encodings used in X.509 and 3GPP signallingKernel-bypass networkingnetworking · low: User space (DPDK, AF_XDP) or an in-driver eBPF hook (XDP) handles packets straight from NIC rings, skipping sockets, for 10-40 Mpps per core.›Sctp protocolnetworking · low: SCTP multi-streaming, multi-homing and message framing for telecom signallingBeamformingsignal-processing · low: Phased-array weights that steer radio energy toward a receiver; per-client steering vectorsProportional fair schedulingsignal-processing · low: Radio resource scheduling by rate over average throughput, balancing cell capacity and fairnessPID controllerrobotics · low: Drive a measured value to a setpoint with three terms on the error: proportional, integral, derivative. The default feedback loop for motors, heaters, drones and gimbals.›Phase-locked loop (digital)signal-processing · low: Feedback loop that locks a local oscillator to the phase and frequency of an input tone; the core of carrier recovery, clock recovery and GNSS tracking.›Robust statisticsstatistics · low: Location and scale estimates (median, MAD, trimmed mean, Huber M-estimator) that stay correct when a minority of the data is garbage.›+ 15 more primitives
