Freeze using 7.3.1 on Radio Astronomy.

[mistergitj]

I do not like to open an issue that I have posted, but I feel I should have open one instead of posting in SDRAngel. This continues to happen and needs a look. It was suggested to post my log file and it is here. Please let me know of any other information that will help. Thanks much and enjoy, John. log file: sdrangel.log Original post: I am running 7.3.1 on W10 x64. Here is a screenshot. After running for some time SDRAngel hangs. I am forced to use the Task manager to terminate the 'Not Responding' task. Please tell me what information to provide so that the developers can figure out what is causing this. Here is a screenshot of the running job. Thanks much, John.

I think what is probably happening here, is that because you have such a small integration time (t sub sigma), after a while, it takes longer to process and display the results than it does to take the measurement and the GUI can't keep up.

You probably want to run with a higher integration count (sigma) anyway - as this increases the sensitivity of the measurement.

[mistergitj]

Thanks, srcejon. Another user recently suggested making sure the integration time is over 1.0s and I have been running that way since. I do not think I have seen a hang since. It would be nice if the program could get past the error a little more gracefully. Are these types of problems due to my running Windows? Thanks again and enjoy, John.

[srcejon]

I don't think the problem is Windows. I suspect it's just that you're asking it to do more processing than it can handle.

[mistergitj]

Thanks, srcejon. My processor is an AMD 1950X with 16 cores and 32 threads Threadripper. My system is on a RAID0 of SSDs if it makes any difference. Thanks and enjoy, John.

[srcejon]

. My processor is an AMD 1950X with 16 cores and 32 threads Threadripper.

The processing that is most likely causing a problem is all on a single thread at the moment - so extra cores not beneficial.
