Along with the question posed by Marius, how does PD currently scale
on SMP systems with 2, 4, or 8 cores?

No, I missed LAC, but it is not surprising that people research in

hi, I am reading an old interview with james moorer (with curtis roads
in CMJ/6 1982). one funny thing is that he says, 'software synthesis is either dead or dying[...] I am hoping it's demise will be quick and relatively painless.' in return he predicted all computation being done on special dsp
chips. in part he was right, but on the other hand the main cpu got more
than fast enough to survive (gfx is slightly different), but - and I am coming to my point - he also was thinking about hundreds or
thousands of parallel processing elements. right now, we are going to have
several and in the future many many parallel CPUs, and the need for parallel processing is back. miller was talking about that in montreal. so I wonder how pd will survive that evolution? afaik the current situation is poor in this regard. can anyone give an outview for the future? would it be a jump from pd (I) 0.43 to pd II 0.1? marius.Where you at Lac 2008? because Jürgen Reuter gave a lecture on the
topic with who you are interested. I do wonder too in this regard and where very interested in his presentation : exploiting multi-core architectures for fast modular synthesisAndrée
