CPU usage

These results were obtained by running a batch of test MPX recordings through redsea at a real-time speed on different platforms.

Computer CPU Redsea version % CPU
Raspberry Pi 700 MHz ARMv6 0.17.0 40–45 %
Raspberry Pi 3B ARMv7 1.0-SNAPSHOT 11 %
2013 Macbook Pro 2.8 GHz i7 0.17.0 0.6 %
2021 Macbook Pro M1 Pro 1.0-SNAPSHOT 1.1 %

Noise performance

The following noise performance results refer to the percentage of groups decoded in a few different field recordings. Redsea's noise performance is platform-dependent. This could be due to small differences in the liquid-dsp floating-point algorithms for ARM vs. x86.

Pilot SNR is used as a measure of noisiness because it's relatively simple to calculate. Redsea does not use the pilot tone.

Test file Pilot SNR % groups ARM % groups i7
vikerraadio-171k.s16 +51 dB (Excellent) 99.8 99.8
raw-yleyksi-171k.s16 +36 dB 99.1 99.5
puhe.s16 +30 dB 2.7 63.1
raw-ylesuomi-171k.s16 +26 dB 64.5 94.0
nova.s16 +21 dB (Noisy) 0.0 8.5
