I would not completely discount performance of the Raspberry Pi - notably floating point performance against the Cortex-A8. In many cases, the performance gap is probably smaller than a change of architecture generations would normally dictate. The Raspberry Pi has a full VFP implementation versus the more or less crippled non-pipelined VFPLite version on the A8. It's true that the A8 does have a NEON unit, which is extremely capable, but that chunk of silicon won't see full use without explicitly written instructions. Regarding the original question, is the CPU choking? Perf results would be telling, but numbers from top are better than nothing. -TT _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
