Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] VOLK: What Could Make volk_32fc_index_max_16u() Go Wrong?

[Jeff Long]

I added issue https://github.com/gnuradio/volk/issues/139 (on VOLK, not GNU Radio).

OK, we're going to need someone who speaks VOLKan to fix this one, but at least we know it's not a memory corruption problem.

First,

"~/p/s/p/test_data (master)> cat ~/.volk/volk_config | grep volk_32fc_index_max_16u

volk_32fc_index_max_16u a_sse3 generic"

I did "vector[996] = gr_complex(1,1);" and it resulted in argmax 996 (correct result).

Same results when setting any single sample between 996 to 999.

But - when I set 995 to (1,1), argmax returns 992 (?!)

When I set 992 to (1,1), argmax returns 992.

When I set 991, argmax returns 888.

When I set sample #2, argmax returns 0.

So the pattern seems to be:

Return the first index of the quartet that contains the biggest sample.

The generic VOLK implementation (probably not the one being called) can't do this, but the vectorized version (which is probably being called) does things in groups of 4. Can you try making 996 the highest and see if it wrongly reports 999?
