Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Processing of large numbers of samples

[Marcus Müller]

Hello Simone,
> Is there a convenctional way to do this?
Yes, there is! Since in a sync block, the numbers of samples you consume
on you rinput and you produce on your output are identical,
you can use set_output_multiple(8192) [1].

If what you're doing feels more like a operation on vectors of samples
instead of an operation on a stream of samples, you could also use a
input signature with an input and output item size of 8192 times the
original item size, and use stream_to_vector[2]before and
vector_to_stream to convert from streams to vectors. A typical example
(and generally a very nice block) is the fft_vcc[3] block, which
encapsulates the FFT, which is a vector operation, mathematically.

Greetings,
Marcus
