Now with cheap yet crazy-fast GPUs, GPU & CPU on same die, & PCI Express 3.0 arriving, some of the roadblocks (slower GPU-memory to CPU-memory transfers) are being lessened I imagine. CUDA & other GPU libs are being used frequently for big number-crunching. Not so much for audio yet, but I know if the tools were readily available...

With FlowStone2 supporting API calls, what GPU lib(s) should SM be pre-configured to run with? Or should there be an GPGPU editor? GPU-ASM primitive? See also the See Also here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPGPU

Or perhaps best bet is OpenCL? http://www.khronos.org/opencl/

(Yes there was a CUDA thread before, but this is for general GPU support)

I believe it is already difficult as it is based on those libraries 😇

Before your first post

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Then your post goes up straight away.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
