Hello community,

I've just pushed all changes to my GSoC proposal for a Measurement
Toolbox. You can get the full PDF on

https://github.com/marcusmueller/gsoc14-proposal/blob/master/gsoc14-proposal-mueller-announce.pdf?raw=true

or of course access the repository on

https://github.com/marcusmueller/gsoc14-proposal .

To give you a short Introduction: The idea is that doing measurements
and benchmarks of signal processing and computational performance is a
day-to-day job for every developer and researcher, and yet there is no
reasonable framework to do that reliably, distributed and reproducibly.

I therefore proposed an extension to the brand new gr-benchmark tools,
as well as a dispatcher architecture to let benchmarks run on
different machines and minimize the total simulation time or run every
benchmark on all machines to test things like VOLK performance.

Overall, I try to achieve a shift from the purely algorithm-oriented
benchmarking to more of an application performance benchmarking.

Furthermore, I will integrate the tools into existing user interfaces
(basically extending gnuradio-companion).

I'm looking forward to storms of criticism ;)
Greetings,
Marcus
