Does this mean that in Linux and on a dual core machine one instance of Pd only uses one processor?
No, it doesn't mean that.But all the messages and signals circulate in a since thread (on a single cpu) unless you use special tools to split it into several threads.
Then there is the "client process", which "own" the patch windows and the main window. This runs separately.
Also, [soundfiler], some GEM input/output classes, and much of PDP, can run in an alternate thread.
Is there a way to know which processor it uses, and whether it always uses the same processor?
No idea... I still run a single-core all day long. _ _ __ ___ _____ ________ _____________ _____________________ ... | Mathieu Bouchard, Montréal, Québec. téléphone: +1.514.383.3801
