if you plan to stay pure-pd, using netsend/netreceive is probly more
efficient for comm between the 2 instances of pd ..

|Hello,
|
|I'm helping develop an installation using pd (linux). We are quite poor,
|but still manage to have the choice between using a single celeron 533 MHz
|processor, or a SMP system with two celerons running at 523 MHz.
|
|There are four cheap sound cards in this system to give us eight outputs.
|I think these must all take their input from one pd, as we need to
|smoothly move between them.
|
|The question is this:
|
|Is there a good way to take advantage of both processors in the SMP
|configuration (and would this provide a significant performance gain over
|a single processor)?
|
|Is Open Sound Control (OSC) the only way to do this (run a pd on each
|processor, with a mixing stage in one of them, and OSC providing the
|pipe)? Does anyone know if the overhead associated with OSC would make
|this a bad idea? Anything better? Any simple solutions?
|
|I hope some of that made sense.
|
|Thanks!
