N2 - Radio Access Networks (RANs) are increasingly softwarized and disaggregated, resulting in diverse and interoperable components running on commodity hardware and compute platforms. In this demo, we present a real-time RAN testing framework, called ETHOS, designed to capture fine-grained metrics on performance, energy consumption, and computational efficiency for O-RAN-compliant systems across a range of compute platforms. ETHOS also interfaces with the RAN stack for real-time controlling to test various scheduling algorithms. ETHOS leverages a shared memory-based inter-process communication (IPC) framework and automates testing through the emulation of diverse user traffic and channel conditions. We deploy ETHOS on the NVIDIA ARC-OTA platform in this demonstration to show its effectiveness. ETHOS is designed to be easily portable to other commercial and open-source RAN software, offering the potential for a unified testing and evaluation framework to accelerate O-RAN research and innovation.
