description The graphical processing unit (GPU), as a digital signal processing accelerator for cloud RAN, is investigated. This letter presents a new design for a 5G NR low-density parity check code decoder running on a GPU. The algorithm is flexibly adaptable to GPU architecture to achieve high resource utilization as well as low latency. It improves on the layered algorithm by increasing parallelism on a single code word. The flexible GPU decoder (on a 24 core GPU) was found to have 5\times higher throughput compared to a recent GPU flooding decoder and 3\times higher throughput compared to a field programmable gate array (FPGA) decoder (757K gate). The flexible GPU decoder exhibits 1/3 decoding power efficiency of the FPGA typical of general-purpose processors. For rapid deployment and flexibility, GPUs may be suitable as cloud RAN accelerators.
