Joe - If you get a chance, it might be interesting to plot decodes vs ntrials for the sfrsd3.c that I committed just now. Bottom line is that I eventually found a setting that does a significant number of mr2sym insertions and “does no harm” at ntrials=1, i.e. the number of decodes is not

So the failures are a separate section? So a quad core should get something approaching 3X barring cache contention. Question would be how often in real life do failures occur? And would you make the # of trials dependent on # of cores? On Tue, Sep 29, 2015 at 3:50 PM, Joe Taylor wrote: > On 9/

Hi Hans, Thanks for the report. I am not aware of any problems that have been reported with spot uploading in WSJT-X. I do not know the answer to your question about why WSJT-X might transmit on a slightly different frequency than WSPR-X, even when the TX settings are the same. Very early o

Hi all, Some further information on the new Reed Solomon decoder. A simple timing measurement shows that for test program "rsdtest" 97% of the execution time is spent in the Berlekamp-Massey errors-and-erasures decoder. This is good. It means that if/when we decide more speed is desirable, it

Hi Steve, Congratulations -- those are really good results using the 8x8 probability matrix. With revision 5942 I have made minor adjustments to the criteria used for rejecting potentially bad decodes. It gives 837/1000 good decodes and NO bad decodes with ntrials=1. I have put this best

Joe, One more comment - I think that I may have mis-interpreted the good/bad columns in the rsdtest output. I interpreted the first number as total number of decodes and the second number as the number of bad decodes. So I had been subtracting the second from the first to get “good” decodes. I

Joe - I’ve just committed sfrsd3.c. This uses the probability of error derived from your fort.40 data to set the erasure probabilities. I modified extract2.f90 to print the 8x8 array out and then imported it directly into sfrsd3.c I manually edited the probabilities in the regions that had zer
