# LDPC coder/decoder implementation
The LDPC coder and decoder are implemented in a shared library, dynamically loaded at run-time using the [oai shared library loader](file://../../../../common/utils/DOC/loader.md). The code loading the LDPC library is in [nrLDPC_load.c](file://../nrLDPC_load.c), in function `load_nrLDPClib`, which must be called at init time.
## Selecting the LDPC library at run time
By default the function `int load_nrLDPClib(void)` looks for `libldpc.so`, this default behavior can be changed using the oai loader configuration options in the configuration file or from the command line as shown below:
#### Examples of ldpc shared lib selection when running nr softmodem's:
loading `libldpc_optim8seg.so` instead of `libldpc.so`:
```
./nr-softmodem -O libconfig:gnb.band78.tm1.106PRB.usrpx300.conf:dbgl5 --loader.ldpc.shlibversion _optim8seg
.......................
[CONFIG] loader.ldpc.shlibversion set to default value ""
[LIBCONFIG] loader.ldpc: 2/2 parameters successfully set, (1 to default value)
[CONFIG] shlibversion set to _optim8seg from command line
[CONFIG] loader.ldpc 1 options set from command line
[LOADER] library libldpc_optim8seg.so successfully loaded
........................
```
loading `libldpc_cl.so` instead of `libldpc.so`:
`make ldpc_cl`
`cp ../../../openair1/PHY/CODING/nrLDPC_decoder/nrLDPC_decoder_kernels_CL.cl`
`./nr-softmodem -O libconfig:gnb.band78.sa.fr1.106PRB.usrpb210.conf:dbgl5 --rfsim --rfsimulator.serveraddr server --sa --log_config.gtpu_log_level info --loader.ldpc.shlibversion _cl`
``` [LOADER] library libldpc_cl.so successfully loaded

A mechanism to select ldpc implementation is also available in the `ldpctest` phy simulator via the `-v`option, which can be used to specify the version of the ldpc shared library to be used.
#### Examples of ldpc shared lib selection when running ldpctest:
Loading libldpc_cuda.so, the cuda implementation of the ldpc decoder:
```$ ./ldpctest -v _cuda
Initializing random number generator, seed 0
block length 8448:
n_trials 1:
SNR0 -2.000000:
[CONFIG] get parameters from cmdline , debug flags: 0x00400000
[CONFIG] log_config: 2/3 parameters successfully set
[CONFIG] log_config: 53/53 parameters successfully set
[CONFIG] log_config: 53/53 parameters successfully set
[CONFIG] log_config: 16/16 parameters successfully set
[CONFIG] log_config: 16/16 parameters successfully set
log init done
[CONFIG] loader: 2/2 parameters successfully set
[CONFIG] loader.ldpc: 1/2 parameters successfully set
[LOADER] library libldpc_cuda.so successfully loaded
...................................
​```
```
Loading libldpc_cl.so, the opencl implementation of the ldpc decoder:
`make ldpc_cl`
`cp ../../../openair1/PHY/CODING/nrLDPC_decoder/nrLDPC_decoder_kernels_CL.cl`
`./ldpctest -v _cl`
```$ ./ldpctest -v _cl

### LDPC libraries
Libraries implementing the LDPC algorithms must be named `libldpc<_version>.so`, they must implement three functions: `nrLDPC_initcall` `nrLDPC_decod` and `nrLDPC_encod`. The prototypes for these functions is defined in [nrLDPC_defs.h](file://nrLDPC_defs.h).
`libldpc_cuda.so`has been tested with the `ldpctest` executable, usage from the softmodem's has to be tested.
`libldpc_cl`is under development.
