[PD] Re : GEM: abnormal performance difference PC/Mac?
Hi Your method doesn't work with me, maybe I don't understand exactly how you do. But I recently spoke about another method : before creating the window, if you pause your computer (you close it), wait 30 seconds, and open it, the CPU utilisation will be very lower. Then, you can create the window. The performances are really VERY different. You can find the thread here : http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg32466.html The -nosleep option works too, but not as good as pausing the computer... Anywoy, I guess that the best method is to install Linux... Maybe that a Mac-OSX expert could help us? t Le 13/04/10 0:13, « Matteo Sisti Sette » matteosistise...@gmail.com a écrit : I've tried PNG and JPEG codecs. Png gives no significant performance improvement over Animation, and Jpeg is even worse. Now strangely enough I've found out (well a mac-owner friend of mine has found out actually) that closing and reopening the gemwin once before starting, results in a great performance increase. Isn't that crazy? I am opening the gemwin at loadbang, may that be related? However even after that, the performance is still hugely inferior to that of the Pc notebook with a comparable processor. chris clepper escribió: On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 3:14 PM, Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistise...@gmail.com mailto:matteosistise...@gmail.com wrote: That's interesting.

Since you have the two computers in question, you will have to test for yourself. All of the responses so far have been 100% speculation since no one else has the machines. You have been given some things to investigate, so try those out. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] Re : Re : GEM: abnormal performance difference PC/Mac?
I don't know. But it works with pd, not only GEM. But I guess that the processor has a variable frequency, and that pd doesn't explain to the macOSX-demon what he needs, at the right time. So I don't think that it works with Microsoft Office, for example... t Le 13/04/10 15:16, « Matteo Sisti Sette » matteosistise...@gmail.com a écrit : Thibault Walter escribió: if you pause your computer (you close it), wait 30 seconds, and open it, the CPU utilisation will be very lower.

(that closing and reopening the gemwin helps isn't less crazy either) Does your method work only with GEM or does that improve the performance of the computer in general? ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] Re : GEM units
In fact, if you don't change the gemwin's view parameters , z = 4. So if you create a 512 * 512 dimensions window for example, and if you want to build a square with te same dimensions, your square's size will be 4. Il you create a 600 * 400 dimensions window, the size of corresponding rectangle will be 6 * 4. Is this what you wanted to know? t Le 3/03/10 0:54, « Jon » potaxpo...@gmail.com a écrit : this must be documented somewhere, but i can't locate it. is there some logic to the size units for GEM objects? like: what exactly is 2 in [cube 2]? thankyou jon ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

4/4 = 1, yes. It works for X and Y if your screen is a square. If you create a 400 * 600 screen you will get a 2.67 * 4 rectangle If you create a 600 * 400 screen you will get a 6 * 4 rectangle t Le 3/03/10 17:27, « martin.pe...@sympatico.ca » martin.pe...@sympatico.ca a écrit : So GEM units are QuarterWindowSides, then?

[PD] Variable CPU?
Hello I made a little discovery. It works with pd-extended and with pd-vanilla+GEM. Il have a MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 duo, with Mac-OS X 10.5.8. When I open one of my video-patch (it works with any one of my video or sound patchs), if I look at the CPU utilisation, I get something like 7 ou 8. Nothing is running, the GEM window is not even created. If I wait something like 1 or 2 hours without using pd ; or, if I pause my computer (I close it), wait 30 seconds, and open it, I get something like 0 or 1 as my CPU. Then, if I use my patch, when I get normally CPU = 70, and with this method I get CPU = 20. And of course, the performances are absolutely not the same. In fact, without this method, my MacBook Pro is not very much more powerful than my old 1.33GHz PowerPC G4. It works with audio-patchs too. There is an other method : if I turn dsp on, and then off, I get the same result. This method can't work with audio-patchs, because when I turn on dsp I always get high CPU. So I have to turn dsp on before pausing and turning on my computer. (I don't know if I'm clear...) Weeell, I realized that it works with my PPC too, but the differences are not so important. Has someone any explanation? excuse me for my english T ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] Re : FW: gem 0.92.0
Well, I think that the only solution is to use a image (a .jpg for example) instead of the texture which is in the .mtl So you have to do [gemhead] | [pix_image] | [pix_flip] | [pix_texture] | |[texture 2( | | [model] It was not working on MacOsX until now...
