-MikeHi Nathan,Thanks for the info. In case you didn't see my previous reply, the processors are all "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz"

Hi Mike,
So each VOLK kernel has several internal implementations that are
architecture specific (SSE, AVX, NEON, etc). A call to the VOLK
library looks like volk_32fc_32f_multiply_32fc(output_buffer,
input_buffer0, input_buffer1, number_of_points). Internally VOLK has a
dispatcher that uses the implementation that is "best" for your
machine. The "best" implementation is determined by running
volk_profile which runs all of the implementations available and write
the fastest one to volk_config. At run-time VOLK reads this file to
know which version of each kernel to actually run.
Can you tell me your processor model name and flags? A copy of
/proc/cpuinfo (just one of the processors) would be useful.
Nathan
