Here it works: $ pd -nosleep Gives one of the CPU's 100% load fulltime. No need to run in root for this. My startup alredy boots pd with -rt flag and I have the limits.conf tuned as reported on the wiki/documentation.
The system is: $ Linux 2.6.31-9-rt #152-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT RT Thu Oct 15 05:01:14 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 9.10 rt) (The CPU is a *AMD* Turion 64 X2 TL-60.)

Well, I tried running Pd both as a normal user (with realtime rights) and root (from the console). In either case case the gnome-system-monitor said "sleeping" unless I went over 50% CPU usage for a moment with that particular pd patch. I'm using an AMD Athlon II X2 250 dual core with 3.0 GHz.

Hi Ingo,
I've tested this on linux (although not recently) and it seemed to work. Naturally, you need at least a 2-processor machine, otherwise the machine will freeze.
Should theoretically work on Mac too, but I don't have any 2+-processor mac to try it on. Probably does nothing on windows.

I just noticed that the -nosleep flag dosn't seem to do anything. When
I
take a look at the system monitor it says about pd "sleeping" until I

something. Even while doing some "light" things it keeps saying
"sleeping".
Is there any condition I have to set in the system to recognise the -nosleep flag. Realtime is turned on. I had to change some audio
properties
to be able to use -rt without being root. Is there something similar
about
"-nosleep"? Does the "-nosleep" flag actually help anything? Especially
when
the system load gets heavy?
