hey vedran, 

pd~ is a way of opening another instance of pd from within a patch.

ideally you want gem and sound on separate instances (connected via udp, pd~ or some other way). each of these processes will use one processor.

nicely enough, pd's graphical interface and the actual process, are separate threads, so you (or more precisely your OS) might have them in separate processors if needed.

for sound, you can create objects in faust and make multithreaded audio externals.

other than that, the processes in a patch are single threaded.

Hi!
can someone tell me if one instance of pd (with gem) can use more than one core on multi-core processor?
