In other words this indicator shows ........... 24 db att ?
how much exactly is showing ? if i`m wrong for the 24 db.

And may be this question : Did you ever think about extend the highpass filter - let`s say to 500 Hz

no, it shows ~4dB. Full range is 12dB.. like slider is max +12.

@hvz:
could indicate, even approximately, which is the attenuation in dB in the bar graphs of current ST about AGC, MB and Clipper. (a 1/4, 1/2 and full scale)? ;)
Every block should be 1dB.. my measurements is about 0.8-0.9dB.
Quote:
Every line = 1 dB. Every stronger line = 6 dB.

And yes it can go deeper than the indicators show. Whether you should want that...? ;)
Thanks! ;)

Today I have tried if upgrading to the latest Intel C++ compiler would improve performance.

I had to install Visual Studio 2010 first - wow, talk about bloat.. Installing literally took hours with multiple reboots, and it required 4 GB of harddisk space. Then I installed the latest Intel compiler (13), also over 1 GB.

The good news: I got my code building within minutes (just had to configure some directories), and the binary that came out is a lot smaller than with the compiler version I was using so far (10.1).

The bad news? Performance dropped to 75% of that with 10.1. :( And Visual Studio 2010 is so slow that it often completely blocked my system for over a minute if I just clicked on something.

I also tried the Microsoft compiler in Visual Studio 2010: Performance is less than 40% of that of the Intel 10.1 version.

Result: Today was a lost day, I'll restore the backup that I made in advance and will continue developing on version 10.1.

Do you ever tried the G++ Compiler, or doesn't it work with your code? I have used it myself in some projects and the performance was always very good.

The Gnu compiler you mean? I'll try that one again - did test it last year but the code was (a bit, not much) slower.

The Linux version is actually built with it!

But some things are commented out, and it's too bad you cannot integrate it with Visual Studio - means I need to write batch or makefiles to build it...

Which OS are you using? I've seen a reference to installing Windows Automation API 3.0 helps speed things up if on XP or Vista. 3.0 is already included in 7 (and 8, I suppose).

Ah I knew I was forgetting something. The GUI doesn't work with GNU C++ because it's written using MFC. It's probably not even that much work to convert it to something else (like I said, I already have a Linux version which is based on wxWidgets, although I really want to get rid of that because it's HUGE), but too much work for now.

The last comparison I did was for version 6.00 with GNU C++ 4.5.0, I see they are already working on 4.8.0 so chances are that performance has improved since - definitely an interesting one to look at.

If anyone happens to know a good platform independent framework - not Qt for licensing reasons - that can do these 4 things I would be happy:
- Create a window (may be empty)
- Display images (which I draw in memory and then send to the display)
- Get mouse events, change and move mouse cursor
- Get keyboard events

Since it's so limited I could probably just support each OS myself if there's no OS-independent thing for this.

I was running it in an XP virtual machine. But it doesn't matter anyway, performance of the generated code was really bad - and so much worse that I don't think it's fixable by tweaking some compiler settings. So I'm back at 10.1 now.
