How much can you reduce the computer load/requirement and still have
acceptable performance. What have you guys tried and had success
using ?
By far the biggest portion of the computing power is eaten by the
console and graphics. The DSP is an amazingly small part of the total
computational load. The spectrum and associated display functions are
really the cycle hogs.
If you slow down the spectrum update rate to, say, 5 per second, or
turn it off completely, you don't need much machine to service the
essential radio functions. I've run the Linux version "headless," that
is, with no graphics at all, on a 533MHz Pentium.
