Yes, thank you, I've tried this before: I allocated 10 or more cores purely
for the USRPs. Overflows are generally less, but when starting any
application, one or two "O" are guaranteed to be printed.
Therefore, I suggested that maybe it's a case of cache or something else.

I was playing with num_recv_frames, but the problem is that I do not know
how to determine the correct value for it. Now it's num_recv_frames = 150,
and recv_frame_size = 8000.

In general, while running my application, a lot of start / kill processes,
which are causes overflows. If you do not touch anything, do not run
anything - everything is fine, even without the allocation of cores by
isolcpus and numactl :)
