DAW utilizing multi core?
CPU speeds seem to be stuck, although
Moore's law may still hold true, allowing more cores in the same space. Of course, we have to change the way we write applications to take advantage of this. There is likely no simple answer to this, but I was curious as to whether most VST hosts for instance, will spread the plugins across cores, or whether this is one point of quality split in the hosts out there.

Tobiah Most, schmost. Pick a DAW and research it. I think SONAR and Reaper both do... but I would have to research it... I haven't been CPU bound with a DAW since I got off the Athlon 600 machine I used from 1999 to 2004. Even then, Win95 and FAT32 were much more troublesome than the processor speed. -- Les Cargill |

I don't know about plugins, but Ardour 2.x (OSX/Linux DAW) will use two cores if available, one for audio processing and the other for the graphics. Ardour v.3 will make sensible use of more than 2 cores, but I don't know exactly how it divides the work between them. -- Anahata --/-- http://www.treewind.co.uk +44 (0)1638 720444 |
