Re: Are there now 64-bit processors that deal with denorms routinely with no exception or interrupt?

Hi, Long time ago have implemented a Gammatone filterbank using CUDA on NVIDIA GPU's. I had to use the double type due to the filter stability problems at the low frequencies ( below ~200 Hz ). However, at that time I did not know that the CUDA has quite a fine grained control of the rounding

This article explains the origin of our most beloved constant besides π, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/44,100_Hz#Recording_on_video_equipment Non video based equipment like Synclavier used 50 kHz, also the first DASH recorder did so: https://www.mixonline.com/technology/1978-3m-digital-audio-ma

I've heard a few bits of apocryphal folklore - and I briefly met some of the CD team while in Eindhoven NL at Philips, all of whom denied these popular myths - but here goes; 44kHz was a compromise to fit a typical album of about 70 mins, reliably (with ECC etc) onto the available physical medium.
