Hi, is it possible to successfully run jackd as provided by Gentoo/Emerge/Portage on a multicore system ( AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor ) ? Thank you very much for any help in advance! Best regards, mcc

Thank you very much for any help in advance! Best regards, mcc I've run Jack for years on multiprocessor Gentoo systems. I know of no reason why that specific processor wouldn't work. Your best bet for targeted information on this would be the Jack list itself. Folks like Paul Davis and other audio developers are generally there and helpful. HTH, Mark

HTH, Mark BTW - if you go that direction you will probably want to use the Gentoo pro-ausio overlay as it tends to have the more recent versions that the developers want to have you running anyway. Also, I've seen far more complaints over the years WRT Jack having to do with the sound card someone is using (countless) vs the actual processor that a system is biult around. (0, nada, null...)

Thank you very much for any help in advance! Best regards, mcc Hi, Mark already answered your question, but if you want JACK to *exploit* your cores (under certain circumstances), you probably want JACK2 (version 1.9.x), which is only available in the pro-audio overlay. See also http://trac.jackaudio.org/wiki/Q_differenc_jack1_jack2 for an explanation of the differences to JACK1 and http://lac.zkm.de/2005/proceedings.shtml (keyword jackdmp) for an explanation of how it works.
