Dual-Core Pentium Support?...

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

Does anyone have a current list, web site, suggestions of audio programs
that directly support dual processors? Specifically dual core?

Thanks!

Sonar claims it makes use of muliple processors using multiple threads, and
that's the same situation as dual-core processors too unless I'm missing
something here.......

Multiprocessing distributes processing threads, not processes,
consequently any multithreaded software will benefit from a
multiprocessor setup.

Early versions of Sonar, and before that Pro Audio ran the audio engine on a
single thread. Getting Microsoft Office to run in multiple threads might be
easy, but getting an audio application that relies on tight timing is
another story completely.

That's why products like ProTools LE don't support a dual processor or dual
core PC. Many aspects of the application will run on multiple threads, but
the audio engine cannot cope. As mentioned, the same is true with some
audio plug-ins.

So to say that"any multithreaded software will benefit" is misleading at
best, and flat out wrong at worst regarding audio applications.
