Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to do timing analysis for GNU Radio  
blocks? If so, what is the mechanism for finding time usage by an  
individual block in a flowgraph?

Thanks in advance.

Yours thankfully,  
Shashank S.

Hi Shashank,

maybe have a look at the existing Performance Counters and ControlPort  
infrastructure, as explained in  
[http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/page\_ctrlport.html](http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/page_ctrlport.html)  
[http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/page\_perf\_counters.html](http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/page_perf_counters.html)

Greetings,  
Marcus
