Isn't programming for them a bitch? Asked by deftly (75.38.129.x) on May 18 2010, 3:02pm Reply on May 19 2010, 12:36pm: It really depends on the task... some things do lend themselves well to being split up on cores. It does require different design and mindset when programming them, though. In REAPER's case, it's essentially: "all of these things will need to be done a bit ahead of time by a pool of workers, and the main audio thread will pick the results up when needed". There's also logic for processing blocks of audio for different in parallel on multiple cores, but this doesn't work well at lower latencies (since synchronizing the threads output takes a bit of time).
