Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] How to properly add a pybombs packager

All, Thanks for the help, I think I found my problem. For searching installed packages, zypper is quite slow. I have an alternative using the rpm command but the arguments were wrong, causing the version parsing to fail. That's been fixed and it seems that packages are now properly installed (an

New Linux user here, I don't mean to anger anyone with my naivete. I just ran sudo apt-get. That might fix the other non-showstopper errors earlier. But I am not sure where to start to address that last error which is the show stopper: checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... no configure: error: Packag

Yeah, the entire FX series (I think) has a single FP-unit per *pair* of cores. This is in contrast to that which went before, the Phenom II X6, for example, had 6 FP units. On 2016-09-22 12:53, Anon Lister wrote: > The AMD only has 2 floating point units too, they just define "core" > differe

Problem solved.  I used the Sound GUI under the Settingsmenu to select the audio source.   I am not sure if that is PulseAudio, but the selections and gain settings do work. I even found that I could switch the device while the flowgraph was running. That said, I am puzzled about the intended u

The AMD only has 2 floating point units too, they just define "core" differently(believe there was a class action lawsuit over this started recently). Given GR is mostly FP math, I'd go with the intel. On Sep 22, 2016 10:43 AM, "Fernando Peral" wrote: > I'm buying a new computer and two possible

Note that the FX series (at least, some of them) use a shared FPU arrangement. Having said that, I have an FX-8350 system that does fairly well with 6 receivers operating at 2.56Msps, doing correlation interferometry (computing 15 visibility functions in parallel for the 6 receivers). On 2016-0

I would go for more real cores. Back when I was doing CGI, I thought the Pentium 4 with HT would be a good idea, but it wasn't. On that CPU, the logical Intel cores only do integer operations; floating-point can only be done on real cores. It's probably the same on the modern chips, otherwise

I'm buying a new computer and two possible options will be intel i3-6100 and AMD FX-4300. Performance using GNU-Radio may be the key to the selection of one or the other. I guess the more cores the CPU, the better the performance. FX-4300 is 4 cores, i3-6100 is only two cores but they say bot
