Hello, I'm getting the invalid opcode exception whenever the volk library is used from gr/grc. It is also easy to reproduce by executing volk_profile: [user@rflab gnuradio]$ volk_profile Using Volk machine: avx_64 RUN_VOLK_TESTS: volk_16ic_s32f_deinterleave_real_32f_a Illegal instruction [user@rfl

[Discuss-gnuradio] FSK performance as a function of Fd?

2012-12-15 Thread Joanna Rutkowska
