= gr-fosphor

GNU Radio block for RTSA-like spectrum visualization using GPU

http://git.osmocom.org/gr-fosphor/

Building

Warning: Mixed prefix install is not supported. You need to install gr-fosphor in the same prefix as your GNU Radio install. If you used build-gnuradio this will be /usr/local and this is what's used in the instructions below. If you use a packaged version of GNU Radio, it's most likely /usr and the best way is then to make a package for gr-fosphor for your distribution.

= GLFW3

Install dependencies

{{{
sudo apt-get install cmake xorg-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
}}}

Build GLFW

{{{
git clone https://github.com/glfw/glfw
cd glfw
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=true
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
}}}

=== gr-fosphor

Install dependencies

==== For NVidia

{{{
sudo apt-get install nvidia-opencl-dev opencl-headers
}}}

==== For AMD

==== For Intel

  • No OpenCL support on Linux for HD and Iris Graphics (Wake up, Intel!). Fosphor has been confirmed to work with Iris graphics on OSX.

Build gr-fosphor

{{{
git clone git://git.osmocom.org/gr-fosphor
cd gr-fosphor
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
}}}

Build benchmark tool

{{{
cd gr-fosphor/lib/fosphor
make
}}}

Fosphor is known to build successfully on Linux, OSX and Windows.

== Bandwidth figures

There's a benchmark program available which allows to estimate the maximal bandwidth that can be processed with a specific GPU.

To build it:

{{{
cd gr-fosphor/lib/fosphor
make
}}}

Then execute it by providing a prerecorded complex float file (a couple of 100MB should be fine) in gnuradio format.

{{{
./main some.cfile
}}}

Try to leave the window to its default size if possible and watch out for the Msps numbers printed out to the console.

Submit your numbers & help us to create a GPU survey. We are especially interested in the top end and mobile graphics figures.
