Pd already does parallelism, but not using threads. It is
determinstic instead, meaning it will produce the exact same bit-for-
bit result everytime it runs. Its quite hard to make threaded
programs do that.

Hi, Pat
It looks interesting, but I'm not sure yet how you use it. So, you
write an external, and some of the routines can be wrapped up with (or
called from) the pthread templates? Or do you take your routines and
find/replace names to write your externals?
I've been studying parallel programming a lot lately, and it's given
me some ideas for Pd, namely asynchronous/non-blocking externals and
explicitly locking externals. I'm not quite sure where to go with
parallel programming and Pd (and I'm really not too knowledgable on
the internals for dsp scheduling). I'd be interested to know what you
do with threads in Pd and what you think about parallelism.

hi,
here's a pthread template that works for me:
