[PD] Multiprocessing

[cyrille henry]

hello,

you can use multiple pd instance, or use pd~ objects.
This 2 solution aimed to have 2 (or more) pd running.
the 2nd solution is great since all pd instance are synchronized at audio rate.
The 1st is better if some instances can slow down, so that it did not slow the others.

The main bottleneck is the communication between this process.
for audio communication, prefer pd~ solution.
for huge data communication, i don't find both approach very good.
for image communication, i successfully use pix_share_read and pix_share_write object (for both solution).

cheers
Cyrille
