Sorry if this question is obvious, may be an alternate for live audio processing with clusters: does it exist some netsend/netreceive for audio in Puredata ? I remember having using one (experimental) few years ago but was within MaxMSP... fred IOhannes m zmoelnig wrote: Phil Stone wrote:

Networking has a lot of latency and jitter, so not so good for realtime audio. As for manually managing pd~, I mean just manually creating as many pd~ instances as you have cores. .hc On Sep 9, 2009, at 5:06 AM, fred-ordi wrote: Sorry if this question is obvious, may be an alternate for

[PD] implications of pd~ for 'poly' objects

2009-09-08 Thread Phil Stone
Hello all, I have skimmed Miller's paper from Pd-con about [pd~], and it looks like it has potential for taking advantage of multiple-core CPUs. I need to read it in a little more detail to digest it fully, but I'm wondering (and this is directed mostly at Frank B.): could [polypoly] and/or
