[hpsdr] KISS Konsole on Ubuntu 14.04

[George Byrkit]

Dear Jae,
Great job!  As the current KISS Console Maintainer, I am especially pleased to hear of
your success!

I had always thought this to be quite possible, but due to a lack of time (pesky work) and
unix but not linux skills (I know that they translate well...), I had not attempted it.  I
had considered that the level of .Net Framework support in Mono wasn't up to the job at
that time.

But you've shown that it is now a reasonable thing to consider!  I suspect if KISS were
modified to use the CUDA FFT, many of the issues that you noted might well go away.  It is
indeed the case that the NR/NB are very compute-intensive.  If some of the innards of
SharpDSP (which uses FFTW) were also ported to CUDA, things would be much better.  The
'heavy lifting' for the noise reduction is in SharpDSP, processing all the data.  There
are triple-nested loops and such.

Is there any chance that you will be at DCC?

73,
George K9TRV
