I took delivery on a server (well, the parts to build a server, which I did) about a week ago. I've been running tests on it with USRP2.
It's a Gigabyte GA880GM-UD2H motherboard, with 8G of 1333 DDR3 memory, and a AMD Phenom II 1090T, six-core CPU at 3.2GHz. I'm running Fedora 12 x86_64, with the latest Gnu Radio GIT. I was able to run usrp2_fft.py with decim=4 (25Msps!!) after increasing the net.core.rmem_max and net.core.wmem_max parameters to 500000 each. With this configuration, usrp2_fft.py consumes about 25% of the available CPU, or roughly 1.5 of the 6 CPUs of the system. -- Marcus Leech Principal Investigator Shirleys Bay Radio Astronomy Consortium http://www.sbrac.org _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
