What are you trying to speed up?<br><br>OpenGL is not very friendly to multiple CPUs.&nbsp; The driver will serialize the two processes no matter what so the gain will be minimal if any.<br><br>The latest DirectShow versions of GEM will use multiple CPUs for decompressing video and grabbing frames from a camera.&nbsp; The pix_ objects do not use multiple CPUs.
<br><br>On the &#39;Unix&#39; based OSes (OSX and Linux) the pix_share_read/write objects allow passing video frames between Pd/GEM processes.&nbsp; Windows does not have a similar enough shared memory system to make it work like the other two OSes.

Hi,<br>to get some benefit out of my dual core, I have tried to adapt one of my GEM<br>patches to run on two pd instances, connected with netsend/receive. Well, it<br>worked somehow but only with two gemwins... Is it possible to get the whole
<br>thing into one gemwin on winXP ??<br><br>thanks,<br>Rainer<br><br>_________________________________________________________________<br>Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger! Download today it&#39;s FREE!<br><a href="http://messenger.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200471ave/direct/01/">
