Hello everyone,
just a quick e-mail in relation to the panel at
ICMC. John was there and
might add details to these.
The overall tone was 'yes it is a good idea; we'll
have to do it, but we
don't know how yet.' I asked the question we
wanted to know:
who is doing it? They basically shrugged and said,
"well max has
the poly object...", and then someone said that
SCSynth could be
run several separate, but unconnected, processes,
to what I replied,
so can any other program...
The only thing I found useful was to hear the FAUST
guy talk about
their multiprocessor output usimg openMP. They also
have experience
with their parallel version of Jack.
Has anyone looked at OpenMP. Looks dead easy to
use, it seems available
across the board for all support platforms (gcc
4.2). Perhaps we can use
that instead of pthreads?
But overall, they all seemed clueless. The
discussions in this list seemed
to be better informed. The added joke was Miller
Puckette saying that with
his three year PC he could run six PVs so he was
happy and did not want
to bother with it.
Regards
Victor

Am looking at it (but mostly engaged just now in SIMD programming for the Clearspeed cards); but I only have access to dual-core machines, which I don't consider adequate for testing such things. Does anyone on the list have the 8-core Mac Pro? Outside my budget, sadly. Looks dead easy to use, it seems available > across the board for all support platforms (gcc 4.2).

Not much use for morphing two 5.1 streams. So, no immediate prospect of a spv~ opcode in PD, then!

I think they have new 8-core Mac Pros at the uni studio, I may be able to do some testing there if they let me :-) Peiman On 31 Aug 2008, at 23:33, Richard Dobson wrote: > victor wrote: > .. >> >> The only thing I found useful was to hear the FAUST guy talk about >> their multiprocessor output usimg openMP.
