Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNURadio File meta Sink performance.

If you are on Linux you could just create a file in tmpfs (i.e. RAM). Use a File Sink with a file in "/dev/shm" for instance (see "man mount" to configure tmpfs). Of course you then probably need a lot of RAM (or can capture only small durations). But it is much faster than disk I/O... Müller, Mar

I'll simply pull the stereotypical software guy card: Then you'll need get faster storage, and probably a faster PC. Really, run an analysis ("perf top -ag" is an excellent tool for that) where your computer is stuck spending most of its time during operation. Optimize your resources where it mat

I agree the problem is the amount of samples so I have dropped the idea of storing samples but is there a way to handle such sampling rates in gnuradio? I would like to know the time stamp of the data received which i am unable to access using tag debug. I don't know why but it suddenly stops d

The problem is not the metadata, the problems is the sheer amount of samples. Best regards, Marcus On Thu, 2019-07-18 at 13:18 +0530, SG wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks for your reply. > > Now that since metadata can't be saved to a file, how can we keep track > of timestamp of the received packets? I

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Now that since metadata can't be saved to a file, how can we keep track of timestamp of the received packets? I can use tag debug to display the timestamps of received signal but when flowgraph starts demodulating data it looses track of timestamp display on console

That might very well be the case: 20 MS/s of 32bit float complex would amount to 1.280 Gb/s writing speed. Best regards, Marcus On Wed, 2019-07-17 at 10:35 +0530, SG wrote: > Hi all, > > I have been trying to capture data as well as meta data in file meta > sink in GNURadio. When I run my gr-

Hi all, I have been trying to capture data as well as meta data in file meta sink in GNURadio. When I run my gr-ieee802.11 receiver flowgraph with no file meta sink, it captures the signal transmitted by a dedicated source which is always turned on. However, when i just try to capture and stor
