jit_expr 0.1: Just in time compiled expr/expr~/fexpr~
by Alex 18 Mar '18

18 Mar '18

jit_expr is a clone of the pure data expr/expr~/fexpr~ objects. It just-in-time compiles its expressions so they should be much more optimized than the original. If all works as designed, they should use less CPU than the equivalent vanilla, non-expr, patching and have a significant CPU advantage over the original expr objects. I've put the external, compiled for 64-bit Mac-OS and 64-bit Linux, up on deken: in pd, go to help menu, find externals, search for "jit_expr". After installing the external you should be able to change any of your expr family of objects to just in time compile by loading the library, [declare -lib jit_expr], and then prefixing the object name with "jit/", for example [jit/fexpr~ $x1[0] + $y1[-1]]. I believe they are feature complete with the originals but I'd love to know if there is anything that I'm missing or any bugs that you discover. I'm not exactly sure how to profile pure data patches. If anyone has a good approach or original expr~/fexpr~ patches that use a lot of CPU you can share, let me know. Compiling in the object takes a little bit of time, so the initial instantiation of the object/expression will be a bit slower than the original, FYI. Please report any issues here: https://github.com/x37v/jit-expr/issues BTW, if you're curious to see the llvm assembly produced by your expression, send the |print( message into the left most inlet of your object then check out the pd console. I would love help building Windows and 32-bit Linux versions of the externals. I'm guessing we could also do raspi/arm builds but we'd need some changes to the source code as it uses llvm and explicitly generates code for x86 right now. The source code can be found in the git repo: https://github.com/x37v/jit-expr -Alex Norman

Dear all, A Doctoral Research Fellowship in Sound and Music Computing is available at the University of Oslo: https://www.jobbnorge.no/en/available-jobs/job/148855/ * Deadline: 04.04.2018 * Start date: September 2018 * Duration: 3+1 year * Salary: 436-490 900 NOK The fellowship is connected to the new Nordic Sound and Music Computing Network <https://nordicsmc.create.aau.dk/> (NordicSMC) funded by the Nordic Research Council. This network brings together a group of internationally leading sound and music computing researchers from institutions in five Nordic countries: Aalborg University, Aalto University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, University of Iceland, and University of Oslo. The network covers the field of sound and music from the “soft” to the “hard,” including the arts and humanities, and the social and natural sciences, as well as engineering, and involves a high level of technological competency. We invite PhD proposals that focus on sound/music interaction with periodic/rhythmic human body motion (walking, running, training, etc.). The appointed candidate is expected to carry out observation studies of human body motion in real-life settings, using different types of mobile motion capture systems (full-body suit and individual trackers). Results from the analysis of these observation studies should form the basis for the development of prototype systems for using such periodic/rhythmic motion in musical interaction. The appointed candidate will benefit from the combined expertise within the NordicSMC network, and is expected to carry out one or more short-term scientific missions to the other partners. At UiO, the candidate will be affiliated with RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion <http://www.hf.uio.no/ritmo/english/>. This interdisciplinary centre focuses on rhythm as a structuring mechanism for the temporal dimensions of human life. RITMO researchers span the fields of musicology, psychology and informatics, and have access to state-of-the-art facilities in sound/video recording, motion capture, eye tracking, physiological measurements, various types of brain imaging (EEG, fMRI), and rapid prototyping and robotics laboratories. Qualification requirements * A Master's Degree or equivalent in sound and music computing, music technology, computer science, or other relevant field. The applicant is required to document that the degree corresponds to the profile for the post. The Master's Degree must have been obtained by the time of application. * Experience with development of real-time sound and music systems (Max, PD, SuperCollider, or similar) * Excellent skills in written and oral English * Personal suitability and motivation for the position Please circulate through your networks and forward to relevant candidates.

Hi, it's here: https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v1.0-beta8 (and will be hopefully and eventually up in deken). This is still experimental, meaning (besides instability) I'll still change things and compromise backwards compatibility (I'm trying to get all such planned changes done with, but still have about two more releases to go before moving to the next/final stage). cheers

deken v0.3.0: new fileformat for library packages
by IOhannes m zmoelnig 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

we are proud to announce a major overhaul of the deken fileformat. TL;DR to download new deken packages, you will need at least version v0.3.0 of the deken-plugin (Pd-0.48-1 includes deken-v0.2.4). When searching externals with an old (incompatible) version of the plugin, you will always find a suggestion to install the new plugin with something like: > deken-plugin/0.3.0 > (Deken externals downloader - REQUIRED FOR NEW PACKAGES) once you have installed the new version (and/or Pd includes a compatible version), the nagging will stop :-) # fileformat the new fileformat fixes a number of issues we had with the existing one. things that are better: - cool filename extension '.dek' - consistent archival options for all platforms (ZIP!) - proper detection of the version string for all libraries (even if the library has a weird name like "a-v12" - support for double-precision externals (once Pd supports that!) - extensible # Pd-integration the updated "deken-plugin" has a number of nifty features, you don't want to miss: - support for the new fileformat - support for the old (legacy) fileformat - (optionally) uninstall libraries before re-installing them - (optionally) show a README that is included in the package on successful installation - set installation path (suggesting Pd's default search paths, and offering to create those that are missing) - (optionally) hides the search-results for incompatible platforms - (optionally) overrides the "compatible" Pd-architecture - nice preferences - bugfixes - much more # Developer tools if you are a developer of libraries, we have also updated our 'deken' cmdline tool. things you always wanted to have and which are now free: - support for the new fileformat (default) - support for the old (legacy) fileformat - better detection of binary architectures - better detection of included sources - (experimental) support for double-precision externals - pre-compiled & self-contained Windows binaries - bugfixes - much more if you want to know more, see - http://puredata.info/downloads/deken/releases/0.3.0/ - https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2018-02/021513.html - https://github.com/pure-data/deken/issues/161 i have submitted also submitted a Pull-Request to include the new deken-plugin into Pd proper: - https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/320 and another Pull-Request for Pd that is required to make the double-precision detection work: - https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/300 happy patching. fgm,asdr IOhannes

PdPcHb 28/02/18
by Julian Brooks 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Bit of a late call this one, apologies. The weather has done it again. Hebden chock-full of snow and the forecast is for plenty more. The Big Tin Shed, our usual meeting space is a wonderful location. It is also, as the name implies, a big draughty industrial unit in a cold cold corner of the town. Forecast is for -6, it's always somehow a couple of degrees colder in there, brrrr. Steve, our host from Noisy Toys, reports having to abandon the space this evening as he couldn't feel his fingers anymore (w. heaters blasting). So tomorrow night we've decided to do something a little different... The Brooks' kitchen table has been the epicentre for some top-notch Pd action over the last few years, with a whole host of new and old friends sharing code and insight to practice (with a healthy side-serving of laughter and cheer). We're relocating here for tomorrow evening. If you were planning on coming along tomorrow to PdPcHb please get in touch and I'll let you know our address (we're about 10m walk up the hill from the BTS, right next to The Birchcliffe Centre). Session starts about 7, feel free to arrive a little early if you like and we can get setup and be ready to go. Endless tea on tap, biscuits aplenty. Hope to see you there, Julian & Crew

Cyclone 0.3 beta 3 released!
by Alexandre Torres Porres 21 Feb '18

21 Feb '18

Hi, and here it is: https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases/tag/cyclone0.3beta-3 This release doesn't work on Pure Data Extended or Purr Data and needs ate least Pd 0.48-1 But we still need help compiling for other systems, like Windows, Rasberry Pi, and Linux 32 bits... anyone? As soon as we have them all, we'll upload them to Deken. Release notes: This release on february 21st 2018 marks the exact 2nd year anniversary of this repository, under the maintenance of Alexandre Porres, Derek Kwan and Matt Barber. The main goal is to update all cyclone objects from Max 4.0 to 7.3.4 (the current release). We are almost done with it and have mostly [zl] remaining for that objective! We also fixed numerous bugs, created new objects and are rewriting the whole documentation. More precisely, we have: - 61 updated objects - 63 fixed objects (including objects that were updated, will be updated and did not need updates) - 48 new objects Not much else on the To Do list now, maybe still a couple more beta versions before the final release and hopefully this will be done in yet another year or so ;) Other info about cyclone can be found here: https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/wiki cheers
