Hello Leif,
The limitation is the time to do FFT. I guess that
could be
moved to a GPU but I have no idea about how difficult it might be.
Using the GPU to do only the FFT would be a gentle way
to introduce the GPU into Linrad. But only if the interface
to the FFT is clean enough.
I have
downloaded the source code of Linrad and had a short look at it.
Why don't you put the source code into a Subversion repository at SourceForge ?
Storing the source code there costs nothing and simplifies access.
That is because
I have no idea how to do it.
I do not want to spend time on learning those kinds of things.
I have several far more exciting things on my agenda:-)
Ok, setting up a repo is something that I could do.
But after setting it up it must be clear that the primary
source code is now in the repo and not on your local disk.
The repo is a safe place where to get the latest/primary
source code and also each earlier revision (if needed).
It looks like there is a systematic way of
integrating new devices into
the Linrad source code. If I tried to integrate the PCIe-9842, would
you consider my source code for acceptance to into Linrad ?
Absolutely. I would
be delighted:-)
If you report sucess I would also want to buy such a card even
if I would have to pay more than I really want for it. On the
Internet I find the price to be something like 2000 Euro.
2000 Euro + VAT is what I paid here in Germany.
Much money but still inexpensive in comparison to the industry.
