    5 WARPLab is a framework for rapid Physical Layer prototyping that allows for coordination of arbitrary combinations of single and multi-antenna transmit and receive nodes.  The extensible framework gives users the flexibility to develop and deploy large arrays of nodes to meet any application or research need.

    7 The WARPLab reference design is an implementation of the WARPLab framework that allows many Physical Layer designs to be constructed and tested.  The reference design combines MATLAB and FPGA implementations of the WARPLab framework modules that allow for easy extensibility and customization.  While the reference design uses MATLAB to control nodes and perform signal processing, it also allows applications with strict latency requirements to move time critical processing in to the FPGA.  The latest WARPLab 7 reference design runs on both [wiki:HardwareUsersGuides/FPGABoard_v2.2 WARP v2] and [wiki:HardwareUsersGuides/WARPv3 WARP v3] hardware. Users with WARP v1 hardware should use [wiki:WARPLab6 WARPLab 6].

    … …  
    2223  * 10x reduction in node-to-node jitter in starting Tx/Rx cycles
    2324  * Tx/Rx cycles start ~12usec sooner
    24  * Support for jumbo Ethernet frames up to 9014 bytes long, resulting in a [wiki:WARPLab/Benchmarks#JumboFrames significant performance increase].
     25 * Support for jumbo Ethernet frames up to 9014 bytes long, resulting in a [wiki:WARPLab/Benchmarks#JumboFrames significant performance increase] (compatible with WARP v3 only)
    2526 * Cross-platform (tested on Windows and Mac OSX)
    26  * Default buffers now 2^15^ (32k) samples (800usec duration per Tx/Rx cycle)
     27 * Default buffers now 2^15^ (32k) samples (800usec duration per Tx/Rx cycle) (compatible with WARP v3 only)
    2728 * Built in latest Xilinx tools (ISE 14.4)
    28   * AXI bus architecture on WARP v3
