Re: [Flexradio] Spectrum vs. Histogram CPU Load

[Tim Ellison]

Just a thought.  More buffers = less swapping out memory buffers = less CPU required.   -Tim --- Integrated Technical Services "You can't close the door when the walls cave in" --Robert Hunter   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 2:36 PM To: FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: [Flexradio] Spectrum vs. Histogram CPU Load Last night was the first time I’ve experienced intermittent tx audio.  I’ve been running a 256 byte buffer with no ill effects on a 3GHz Pentium for the last week.  Cpu load is usually less than 5%.  Last night it was around 50% on tx.  After shutting everything down and restarting it was still the same.  Bottom line is that when in the Histogram Display Mode it was sucking up a lot of cycles.    Here’s what I’m seeing with the Spectrum display,  ~3% on rx, ~9% on tx.  With the Histogram ~17% rx and ~33% on tx.  I expected the Histo to use more resources, but I’m surprised to see it increase so dramatically on tx.  Comments please.    With a 1024 buffer it’s not a problem.   73, Curious John k2ox
