[Discuss-gnuradio] Block's maximum Samples per second

[Joe D]

Hello GNURadio’ers

 

Referring to numerous papers and previous discussions, GNURadio  design is such as a block will run as fast as the CPU will allow it  (unless  limited by the source/sink front-end’s speed or introducing a Throttle Block.)

 

But practically how fast will it go, is there a known correlation with the CPU / machine specs that will allow to determine an upper limit of the maximum sampling rate for a given block?

 

Is there a documented / known empirical way to determine the specs of a machine (CPU /Cores /RAM)  based on the Maximum Sample per Second we would like to maintain? Taking into account the type/number of Blocks in the flowgraph

 

Regards

Joe
