parallel processing panel at ICMC

Hello everyone,

just a quick e-mail in relation to the panel at ICMC. John was there and

might add details to these.

The overall tone was 'yes it is a good idea; we'll have to do it, but we

don't know how yet.' I asked the question we wanted to know:

who is doing it? They basically shrugged and said, "well max has

the poly object...", and then someone said that SCSynth could be

run several separate, but unconnected, processes, to what I replied,

so can any other program...

The only thing I found useful was to hear the FAUST guy talk about

their multiprocessor output usimg openMP. They also have experience

with their parallel version of Jack.

Has anyone looked at OpenMP. Looks dead easy to use, it seems available

across the board for all support platforms (gcc 4.2). Perhaps we can use

that instead of pthreads?

But overall, they all seemed clueless. The discussions in this list seemed

to be better informed. The added joke was Miller Puckette saying that with

his three year PC he could run six PVs so he was happy and did not want

to bother with it.

Regards

Victor
