The "thread-per-block" design by Eric allows, in many cases, for the flowgraph throughput to rise until an individual block consumes 100% of a single core. This is a great improvement over the single-threaded scheduler that would rate-limit when an entire flowgraph of blocks consumed a single core. You can switch between the two for comparison: $ export GR_SCHEDULER=STS # single-threaded-scheduler (old) $ export GR_SCHEDULER=TPB # thread-per-block (new, default) -Johnathan _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
