This is mainly because ChucK makes several strong guarantees about the timing between shreds and audio processing, and these are difficult to maintain across multiple cores. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:13px">Its not uncommon to run multiple chuck instances if multiple-core utilization is necessary, using OSC to communicate data between them. You lose a lot of the power of shreds in ChucK, but as I mentioned these attributes are difficult to implement with multi-core awareness anyways. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:13px">spencer</span></div><div><span style="font-size:13px"><br></span></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 15, 2014 at 5:14 AM, vilbjørg broch <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vilbjorg@antidelusionmechanism.org" target="_blank">vilbjorg@antidelusionmechanism.org</a>></span> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">hi<br>

I have problems getting shreds to spread load over multiple cpus neither from miniAudicle nor commandline chuck<br>
Running linux Debian 3.2.0-4-amd64, chuck 1.3.4.0 jack, miniAudicle 1.3.2 jack<br>
<br>
I just tested the same .ck files on a mac and it looks like that the sporked shreds automatically spreads over at least 2 of 4 (4 of 8) cores.<br>
<br>
<br>
Is there any more information to find about how to handle or understand these issues, or does anyone have any tricks to share?<br>
<br>
Much greetings<br>
Vilbjørg<br>
<br>
