Re: 64 bit and precision? - was Re: [sc-users] DiskIn loop trig ?



Hello, mind if I chime in or is this a private party?

I don't think double precision really adds all that much CPU usage to be honest, even on a G4 PowerBook or similar, from my experience at least. Maybe the FFT stuff would benefit from double precision if it doesn't do so already.

I wonder sometimes if it would be worth buggering about with oversampling in some cases too. A while ago I was working on PlayBuf's interpolation algorithm but I didn't get it to a point where the CPU usage was acceptable. That is one area where big improvements could be made, I reckon.

Yes, it sells upgrades. ;-)

Well you need a real a/b comparison for that to be meaningful.


art! isnt it all about that? =)







All I stated is how some SC UGens slip. Sorry they do.



So it's your fault? ;-)



ok, my turn to say...
hmm
huh?
lol


You're the one who apologised. ;-)


lol touche.







Well, I don't think so. Many UGens already use doubles where that
actually
helps. If there are some you think could benefit from this, make a case.

I thought we both showcased a couple of them a few posts back in the
original thread.


Well propose a patch.

counting sample steps is always safer as I was saying my code does -
yet not always possible or the best way to go so maybe soon =)

cheers,
