[Discuss-gnuradio] Large FFTs

2010-08-23 Thread Thomas Hobiger
We are considering to purchase a USRP2 + a DBSRX board in order to utilize it for some GPS stuff. Thus it would be interesting to know what's the maximum supported (implemented) FFTs size. I have checked the old discussions, but there's nothing really conclusive. What we are looking for is some

Hi, Gnuradio uses FFTW, which as a pretty nice benchmark page [1]. If we look at the results for a fairly new intel processor, we see that a 262144 point FFT can be computed with about 9 GFLOPS speed, which means that a 262144 point FFT should be done in less than 3 ms. [1] http://www.fftw.org/sp
