Re: [PD] documentation material for Pd related grants, funds, and prizes

2007-08-18 Thread Kevin McCoy
Yep, I would be happy to help out with this - Greg I was hoping you
would bring the camera anyway.  The two of us will be in touch about
this, but if you (the list) can think of people to track down we might
be able to find them and set up times.  With the convention coming up
in just a few days, we would really need help with getting some sort
of outline.  Both of us have only been using Pd for just over a year,
so those of you who have been using and developing in the last few
years could be a great help here.

We need to decide on some core topics to ask about - what do you guys
and gals think  needs to be covered in this brief documentary?  I have
some ideas but I would rather pose the question to the community at
this point.

I think it is well within our means to produce a short overview of
some important aspects of Pd, or at the very least to have footage and
material available when someone seeking resources needs it.

   Hi,
  
   the money for Pd topic was already discussed often; pd licenses for
   universities, several other ways to support the development of pd
   like
   conventions, google summer of code and so on. although it never
   lead to
   results...
   I was thinking of funds or prizes like the ars electronica
   festival. I
   am still not sure if Pd will fit in one of the categories, but I know
   that you have to send a DVD about the project/community. maybe the
   pdconv would be a good place for some interviews and shoot good
   footage.
  
   one principle question for me with submissions is, if someone
   should be
   in charge of the pd community? like an official speaker, or a
   table of
   people. honestly I think no, but without that it will be more
   difficult
   to access some of the money. (does pd development need money at
   all???...)
  
   the more tanglible question is, if there is someone who wants to help
   getting this done, filming, interviewing, cutting, writing, research.
  
   marius.

Since I reimplemented the stack overflow checker so that it really checks 
every sent message, it's now easier to make a profiler. Actually, I just 
made one tonight, when reading your email. It looks like this:


  http://artengine.ca/desiredata/gallery/simple-benchmark.png

those green numbers represent real time, measured hierarchically (that is, 
all sent messages count as part of the sender), whereas it could have 
excluded sent messages so that all visible times add up (either is more 
useful than the other sometimes). It is an exhaustive measurement, that 
is, every message is counted, whereas it could be statistical instead, 
using unix alarms to make statistics on stack snapshots.


You make the green numbers appear by selecting get elapsed from the View 
menu.


This example was made from making a few clicks on the messagebox and it is 
measured such that 1 unit = 8 cpu ticks. in practice my cpu 
switched to a higher speed. Correct profiling involves setting the speed 
of the cpu to a fixed value so that the values can be displayed in actual 
seconds.


If you want to try it out we could meet online and set it up on your 
computer.

maybe its to long ago, but I thought in max/fts you could print out a time of

DSP-efficiency.

 just run 0.41 on 64studio 64 bit and a complex patch (CUBEmixer)

Re: [PD] strange canvas behaviour

2007-08-18 Thread Matteo Sisti Sette
  2007/8/17, Mathieu Bouchard [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
  I wrote about this today already. This is because $ is rewritten as #
  instead of being rewritten as \$ as it should. The # way involves extra
  code that is both causing your problem and is unnecessary because \$
  already gets converted to $ automatically.
  It should be reported as a bug?

 a bug according to whom? it was deliberately designed and written like
 that.

It is a bug. If you send a label something# to a canvas, there's no *good* 
reason why it *should* generate a something$ label.
It was *implemented* like that (no matter how deliberately), and that's the 
cause of this bug.


Indeed I think that PD lacks a clean and simple escaping mechanim with which 
such problems would be avoided.

[PD] audio drop-outs when resizing tables??

2007-08-18 Thread Matteo Sisti Sette
Hi,

I am getting dsp drop-outs when I resize a table (say a size of 20 or 
so) if a tabread~ object exists reading from that table, even if I am not 
listening to the output of the tabread~.
Even if the tabread~ is in a switch~ed off subpatch/abstraction.

Does PD recompute the whole DSP chain whenever a table (with one or more 
tabread~ reading from it) is resized?

I'm talking about resizing tables by sending them a [resize( message.

I tried to isolate it in a simple patch but I couldn't reproduce it. But I 
think the only difference with the patch where I am experiencing this is the 
complexity of the global dsp graph, that's why I ask if the dsp graph is 
recomputed.

you can use a message and stat with semicolon followed by the location 
you want to send to:
[;receiver1 123(

or  with variables:

[receiver1 123(
  |
[;$1 $2(

that will send 123 to receiver1.
