Hi Michael,

 

User now using a better PC, on Windows he’s streaming 20 Msps and is a happy 
bunny. As he doesn’t have 10GigE he can’t really do much more (20Msps = 675Mbps 
he says).

 

My ‘bitching’ is really the way UHD.dll handles frames – ideally I should be 
able to have the software group frames together, for example with the B200 were 
I to run 4 or 8 frames in a group I am convinced the CPU load would be lower 
and I would get the full 56MHz of bandwidth. For example I can run 60MHz with 
ease from the bladeRF.

 

Back to the X310 – with 10GigE what’s the maximum sustained bandwidth that you 
get on Linux? Obviously frames will be bigger due to bigger 10GigE MTUs.

Hi Simon - When you say "but performance is not great" ... beyond CPU load: do 
you get good Tx and Rx rates (e.g., if you run "benchmark_rate") without 
underruns / overflows / late packets (etc)? What is the MTU set to for this 
ENET link? 1 GbE or 10 GbE? Can you provide a little more detail for us to work 
with here? Thx! - MLD

Hi,

 

Now using UDB 3.15 LTZ instead of UHD 4.0 and a user’s X310 works but 
performance is not great:

 

*       CPU load high,
*       MTU size results in only 364 samples per buffer which I believe to 
indirectly cause the high CPU.

 

I’ve not found much on the Ettus site apart from ensuring the MTU size is 
correct, so the question is: how on earth do I get better streaming from the 
X310?

 

As I’m compiling 3.15 LTS from source making changes is easy.
