[chuck-users] ChucK on a Beaglebone Black

[Robin Haberkorn]

Hello,

firstly, at least as important as the clock speed of your CPU for
audio-processing are its floating point capabilities.
ChucK like most audio-applications use floating point numbers to
represent audio samples and manipulate them with floating point
operations
You should check whether your ARM supports hard-floats and whether you
compiled ChucK with hard-floats and whether you have turned on all
possible compiler optimizations.

I also ported ChucK to my Ben Nanonote pocket computer at one point.
But it has a MIPS CPU without FPU, so it was compiled with
software-floats -- it couldn't even handle the most simple ChucK
patches.

Secondly, as the ARM v7 has FPU, it could well be that the CPU is
simply too slow for larger ChucK patches. I experienced that ChucK was
relatively slow on a 2Ghz dual-core system I was using; not to mention
my 1Ghz single-core Intel celeron workstation.

Best regards,
Robin
