  • This paper presents a benchmarking methodology for evaluating end-to-end performance of deterministic signal-processing pipelines expressed using CNN-compatible primitives. The benchmark targets phased-array workloads such as ultrasound imaging and evaluates complete RF-to-image pipelines under realistic execution conditions. Performance is reported using sustained input throughput (MB/s), effective frame rate (FPS), and, where available, incremental energy per run and peak memory usage. Using this methodology, we benchmark a single deterministic, training-free CNN-based signal-processing pipeline executed unmodified across heterogeneous accelerator platforms, including an NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPU and a Google TPU v5e-1. The results demonstrate how different operator formulations (dynamic indexing, fully CNN-expressed, and sparse-matrix-based) impact performance and portability across architectures. This work is motivated by the need for portable, certifiable signal-processing implementations that avoid hardware-specific refactoring while retaining high performance on modern AI accelerators.
