Thanks,

i have already a PS3 with Frimware 3.15 an know about Sony's OtherOS
removal.
Now i've localized the issue: By installing another Package - and it was not
the gcellized FFTW -
my PYTHONPATH was overwritten. I had to set him new.

Now I set up several Benchmark-Tests like benchmark_nop and benchmark_dma.
I used qa_fft.py as simple offload, but saw only 2 SPEs working (i used
spu-top to verify).
I think i have to use a bigger FFT e.g. 4K because in qa_fft.py it's only
used 32 FFT.

Could you tell me, how to use FFTW-WIP as workload for gcell?
I have a FFTW-WIP binary in /usr/local/bin, which can be execute pretty
well.
But I think, i have to recompile GNU Radio with FLAG to use FFTW-WIP.
Or will FFTW-WIP be used automatically instead of normal FFTW3?

Thanks in advance!
Matty
