When I change the flowgraph options of the rx_ofdm.grc
example shipped with gnuradio from No GUI
to QT GUI
and leave run=True
, the flowgraph in its default configuration (10 k Samples/s) causes 100% CPU load on one core. Even with 1 k Samples/s (which is like nothing for a modern CPU), this improves only slightly.
When I set run=False
in the options dialog, the processor load vanishes completely. Now, I am wondering what is happening there and how I can improve the performance when using the QT GUI. Obviously, for some things I would really like to have the GUI :)
If it is somehow helpful to answering that question: I am on archlinux and the installed version (via package manager) for gnuradio and gnuradio-companion is 3.8.0.0-3.
