I have setup a srsRAN gNodeB in our lab at Digital Catapult, London with a real RU.

Does anyone know how to use a hardware accelerator in srsRAN? I have below hw acc in our server but i do not know how to use it in srsRAN.

Hey @VikrantDigiCat - I am afraid support for the Intel ACC100 (and later generations) hardware acceleration is only available in our Enterprise version. Please reach out to [email protected] for further questions.
