Looks VERY promising indeed!

Great stuff, will surely test this soon on my ASUS GF 9500GT O.C.

One thing that i never understood with this "using GPU for audio DSP" thing is... isnt the GPU used by default for video ouput ? Are we talking about an additional video card or would the tasks share the processing power of one ...or .... ? Sorry, its maybe a dumb question...

GPUs are complex. Advanced 3D processing takes a lot of compute power. Displaying "flat" windows with no effects takes very little compute power. If you're not trying to render complex graphics whilst running your DAW, your GPU may have plenty of spare cycles.

(Not sure my built-in HD3300 does, though...)

It would be so fu**ing great to actually have some plugins running on the GPU with zero latency. It would be really great for synths as well as for reverbs and would maybe open totally new fields (since the processing power of todays graphics cards is enormous [and comes cheaper than from CPUs]).

I really appreciate your efforts and wish you all good for your projects!

Sorry, could be a stupid question, but would the plugin thread waste cpu cycles during the offloaded processing, or would parallel threads run during the wait? I'd imagine some clever scheduling could be used to avoid having the cpu wait idle.

It seems that it does not work in Cubase, not in the pluginlist.

Hi, I'll finish my Ph.D. thesis in 2 or 3 months; and I will work on music generation/music processing effects/VST on GPUs starting mi-november, near full time. I work at the INRIA Bordeaux research lab in the RUNTIME team (Bordeaux, FRANCE). Here is my lab's website in english: http://www.inria.fr/index.en.html (http://www.inria.fr/index.en.html) ; and my team website in english : http://runtime.bordeaux.inria.fr/Runtime/ (http://runtime.bordeaux.inria.fr/Runtime/)

Do you think it would be possible to start something together ? I would be thrilled to test your code and/or add other functionnalities with you and my team !

Hope to hear from you soon!

To contact me, see the news on the team website

Yeah lets not invent new technology, the world is already too perfect.

I think this is a great idea, there must be so many gpus on music machines that have untapped processing power.

Ive always wondered who would be first to do a CUDA synth. No takers so far. Apparently it wont work well unless its parrallel archtecture - perhaps a modular synth :
