''Compiling Low-level Radio Protocols'' by Geoffrey Mainland

Implementing a physical-layer (PHY) radio protocol, like 802.11,
requires expert knowledge of both digital signal processing techniques
and---since performance is critically important---the low-level details
of the platform on which the PHY layer will run. However, even for an
expert, development is painful---there are no good constructs for
writing *compositional* code in this domain while simultaneously meeting
performance requirements, and code that does meet performance
requirements is invariable tied to a specific platform. I will discuss
new language abstractions that, along with compiler optimizations, allow
an expert programmer to write compositional code without sacrificing
(too much) performance. I will also make the case that these language
constructs can be mapped to efficient code on several different kinds of
platforms, including CPUs, DSPs, and FPGAs. Furthermore, many of these
abstractions are not tied to PHY protocols, but could be applied to many
sorts of streaming computations.
