Hi, Just saw that emscripten now has experimental pthread support, currently the only browser that supports it right now is Firefox Nightly but still, its great that they’ve been able to get it working. It’ll be interesting to see if csound will compile using pthreads, and more importantly if it gives any performance benefits. The original thread from the Emscripten devs is here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/emscripten-discuss/gQQRjajQ6iY Cheers Ed |

This sounds like an interesting development. Do you think it should help with performance? On 4 June 2015 at 19:31, Edward Costello <phasereset@gmail.com> wrote:

This is neat stuff. I imagine we could try redesigning the whole Csound/WebAudio interaction to get things to work, using a ring buffer for Csound to write to, read/from, and a node to also read/write. I don't know how much energy is worth putting into it though unless there's some sense that shared memory for web workers is going to happen in other browsers. Otherwise, we'd have three versions of Web Csound then (PNaCl, Emscripten (no pthreads), Emscripten (pthreads)). On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 2:31 PM, Edward Costello |

That will certainly be a fine mess, as Oli Hardy would put it. ======================== Dr Victor Lazzarini Dean of Arts, Celtic Studies and Philosophy, Maynooth University, Maynooth, Co Kildare, Ireland Tel: 00 353 7086936 Fax: 00 353 1 7086952 > On 5 Jun 2015, at 18:09, Steven Yi |

Let us avoid messes and, of course, keep it simple.
