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.

==== Known issues
77
78 1
 * Some version of ubuntu (like 13.10) have screwed up OpenCL dev files setup and it might be required to manually specify a path to the actual OpenCL library during the cmake step ( like {{{-DOPENCL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/nvidia-304/libOpenCL.so}}} )
79 47 horiz0n
 * When running python flowgraphs on machines with AMD graphics (fglrx driver) and UHD enabled in gr-osmosdr you may experience the following error {{{[!] CL Error (-1001, fosphor/cl.c:268): Unable to fetch platform IDs}}}. This is due to TLS sections in both, AMD OpenCL library and UHD library interfering with each other. A workaround is available through preloading the AMD OpenCL library {{{LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libamdocl64.so osmocom_fft -F}}} (path may vary). C++ flowgraphs are not affected.

== Bandwidth figures
99
100
There's a benchmark program available which allows to estimate the maximal bandwidth that can be processed with a specific GPU.
101
102
To build it:
103
104
{{{
105
cd gr-fosphor/lib/fosphor
106
make
107
}}}
108
109
Then execute it by providing a prerecorded complex float file (a couple of 100MB should be fine) in gnuradio format.

{{{
112

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.
