In reply to jon. Excellent, I just found your reply when clearing out old emails. Reminded me to check out the project again! Still hoping for linux support though :)

bro it’s an application file. This early access test period is for Windows comps at the moment

WTF am I supposed to do with a .exe file?

Will this work on mid 2012 macbook pro with nvidia eGPU ? (High Sierra)

Unfortunately thats an issue for the makers of those DAWs and to be totally honest, I think there is a complex relationship between underutilizing those cores and the goals/trajectories of those companies to standardize their offerings and what is happening in the CPU industry. That being said, we do believe that GPUs offer this more open-source kind of easily scalable style of processing if implemented (which is what we’ve done), along with far for headroom for next-gen software. We love CPUs too but of course, we focus on GPUs. Please check the GTC talk if you’d like to watch the replay from todays address!

When will we see multi-core support for regular CPU:s?
Most DAW:s and other audio SW I used rarely use more than 4 cores on a 20 core machine.
Wouldn’t that be a good place to start?..

In reply to Jamin. hey thanks! we'll eventually get there. At this precise moment we're focused on direct partnerships. When the SDK drops in a couple months (hopefully with the Beta Suite) we can have more info about how we can make it available! As far as Linux goes, im def pushing for this. Lets see what we can accomplish in short/long term order

In reply to Jon. Not every intel cpu has integrated gpu though

Is there any open source component to this? Specifically thinking about running this on my Linux render server. I don’t mind paying but I do mind having to install windows!

In reply to Jon.

Even UAD is evolving with SPARK, the closed DSP technology is more than obsolete.
If you need more power there is also something free like Audiogridder (which is basically a scalable CPU-based DSP server).
I’ve been following the DPS thing since Creamware/Capibara/Protools/Focusrite/UAD/Acustica Audio/etc. (owned some till the end of 2000) and with all the power we have today with easy and cheap (relatively) CPUs, going back to DSP is quite insane.
And now more not even a question of latency…

In reply to Erminio Nardini. I love these comments because it gives me the opportunity to remind people that GPUs aren’t just local devices….cloud networks of these are literally running the world and that will increase exponentially in the near future. For the futurists in the room…think about those implications ;)))

In reply to Will.

Thanks Will! Join us for the talk tomorrow and ask some questions in the live QA!

To everyone here – from skeptic to enthusiasts of GPU power, please accept this invitation to join us for a 50 minute talk + Q&A about how we did this. We will go over how we made it happen, how it differs from any other solution (why it is novel) and how we parallelize audio effectively on the GPU. Helpful graphics included and we’ll be there as long as the Q&A goes! Free registration for NVIDIA GTC

For developers, the tech really opens possibilities not only for having powerful vst3s without added latency, but more efficient and real-time ML/AI solutions for your future software as well. Drop in!
