Hello everyone,
We are on the stage of optimizing our project (gr-isdbt). One of the most
consuming blocks is OFDM synchronization, and in particular the
equalization phase. This is simply the division between the input signal
and the estimated channel gains (two modestly big arrays of ~5000 complexes
for each OFDM symbol).
Until now, this was performed by a for loop, so my plan was to change it
for a volk function. However, there is no complex division in VOLK. So I've
done a rather indirect operation using the property that a/b =
a*conj(b)/|b|^2, resulting in six lines of code (a multiply conjugate, a
magnitude squared, a deinterleave, a couple of float divisions and an
interleave). Obviously the performance gain (measured with the Performance
Monitor) is marginal (to be optimistic)...
Does anyone has a better idea? Implementing a new kernel is simply out of
my knowledge scope.
Best
Federico
