[Skimmertalk] CPU consumption by RTTY Skimserv during ARRL RTTY Roundup

[Chuck Gooden]

This may be helpful for some point of reference.

I have had my Red Pitaya 122.88-16 and RTTY and CW skimmers running on 
all ham bands 6m and below during the ARRL RoundUp contest.  So far it 
has not stopped and like the energizer bunny it just keeps on running.

My PC has the following:

  * EVGA X299 FTWK motherboard
  * Intel I7-7820X CPU @ 3.6 GHZ
  * 32 GB memory
  * 1 TB SSD
  * NVidia GeForce GTX 1060 vidio card with 6GB onboard Ram

I am seeing the following performance as measured by the task Manage in 
Windows 10 Pro

  * CPU            37%
  * Memory     3.4/31.7 GB (11%)
  * Disk            0%
  * Ethernet    156 Mbps
  * GPU            1%

I am currently seeing the following as reported by the RTTY and CW Skimmers

  * RTTY Skimmer Spot    336 Spots but not sure over what time period
    this is, I am assuming 30 min
  * CW Skimmer 1            398  spots per 30 min    (ham bands 80 to
    10m without 60m, and 12m)
  * CW Skimmer 2            1 spot per 30 min            (all other ham
    bands including)

I am not setup for FT4/8 skimming yet.

Temperature for the Red Pitaya card with a small fan mounted to the ASIC 
heatsink measures 51.6 degrees

Very pleased with the performance so far.
