[GEM-dev] pix_buffer_share?

[B. Bogart]

Hey all,

Is there a way to share a whole pix_buffer between PD processes?

I'm running my SOM stuff in a second PD instance (to make use of the
second core in my installation machine). But as I'm developing both PD
instances are getting more coupled and I'd like to share a whole
pix_buffer.

The alternative is using two [pix_share]s, one for input the other for
output, controlled by netsend. The problem with this is that I need to
send a lot of data quickly, 10ms between new images, and I think that
could cause lots of problems.

I don't think I'll be able to get the CPU usage of the second patch down
low enough to not interfere with rendering in the main PD patch.

Thanks,
B.
