[Discuss-gnuradio] [UHD] Testing Streaming Issues -- Request for Feedback

[Martin Braun]

Hi everyone,

here at Ettus we've been discussing ways to get code to everyone faster
and get interested parties more involved in our development. One thing
we'll be doing is pushing more development branches out public.

One thing we've experimented with is improving our streaming
performance. Our trusted intern Paul has pushed some changes to this
branch: https://github.com/EttusResearch/uhd/tree/sph_no_task_barrier

It's a small change (it serializes the conversion calls in our
streamers), and several people have already confirmed it improves
performance for them. We'll be pushing this into master soon, but I'd
like to make sure there's no one with an unusual setup for whom this
would cause issues. Most interesting to us would be people with high
channel counts, and slow-ish CPUs.

We're very happy about any feedback!

Cheers,
Martin
