New record scopehal filter speedup: Vector Frequency, which computes the instantaneous frequency of an i/q signal as d/dt(atan2(q,i)).
The (single threaded, non simd) CPU version took about 1.5 seconds to crunch 50M samples on my Xeon 6144.
The trivially simple GPU version? About 1.5 *milli* seconds on a 2080 Ti.
