[wsjt-devel] WSJT-X Decoder Performance

2015-02-02 Thread Joe Taylor
Hi all, I have made further improvements to the speed of the decoders in WSJT-X, independently of any recourse to concurrent processing in machines with multiple CPUs. The changes involve 1. Making better choices for NFFT1 and NFFT2 (the lengths of forward and inverse FFTs in the JT9

I should have mentioned that if you're especially interested in snappy performance of the JT9 decoder, you may consider the penalty for using menu setting Decode | Fast to be unimportant. It will cost you nothing at all at the QSO frequency: that first decoding attempt is always done at

[wsjt-devel] New Rasberry Pi 2

2015-02-02 Thread Bill Somerville
Hi all, particularly pertinent alongside current efforts to make WSJT-X more multi-core aware: The latest Rasberry Pi 2 launched today with a quad core ARM Cortex A7 800MHz CPU (that's 3 more cores and 100MHz more speed) and 1Gbyte main memory which is double the what the B+ offered. This
