Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Non-deterministic behavior in GNU Radio

I'm starting to wonder if having different precision version of the
kernels wouldn't make sense ...

TBH most of the time I don't care that much about precision because my
input data is noisy and  the 0.1 dB difference doesn't matter, I much
prefer to be _fast_.
Especially for something like log2 that would be used to plot an FFT
for instance. My display windows is only 1000 px high, so as long as
the error is < 1e-3 in the end, I wouldn't even see the difference.

And I recognize that for some other applications, it might matter, but
I always found that when dealing with real time, real world signals, I
often prefer fast over precise. (within reason obviously).

Cheers,

     Sylvain
