One cool thing about GNU Radio is that while you use
python to snap
blocks together the data path is compiled code, so it will beat the
performance of pure-python implementations. I don't know if numpy,
scipy, and matplotlib are, but worth keeping in mind.
Thanks a lot, in this case I'm passing pointer data from one C
function to another, the python interpreter loop adds very little
overhead, at least for the data collection step. For any kind of
visual or interactive setup I'll no doubt be looking at GR.
Anyway, it's another option - if you need one
specific simple signal
process then GNU Radio may be overkill, and if it's simple enough
with no bad performance tradeoff then reinventing that wheel can be
fun and educational.
I love options! And I do confess to enjoy inventing a wheel or two.
No one in their right mind would write another Forth compiler... oh
wait.
