New GPUdelay crashes Ableton Live 6.0.1 when it first scans the plugin.
GPUchorus works. Bit heavy on the CPU but I managed to get multiple instances running.

A very exciting thread to put it mildly

.

djsynchro wrote:"At a press event earlier this week, ATI unveiled their plans to start selling GPUs for applications outside the realm of graphics. No specific products were announced, but the company would like for its GPUs to find uses in high performance computing applications."

"What AMD/ATI would like to do is partner with software developers to find new applications for stream processing, applications that they can then support on their hardware. The idea is not to compete with general-purpose CPUs, but to complement them by selling the GPU as a generic stream coprocessor that be used in multiple application domains."

"One of the pieces to this puzzle that AMD/ATI is working to address involves increasing the amount of two-way communication between the GPU and the rest of the system, including the CPU. This is needed if the GPU is going to be able to rise to the level of a full-blown coprocessor, instead of merely processing output and sending the results straight to the display. One way of attacking this is at the chipset level, by using Xpress Route to more closely link multiple PCIe-based GPUs with each other and with the CPU."

Extremely interesting news! Thanks for sharing that with us, djsynchro

! My, oh, my! How cool wouldn't it be to have a general stream co-processor in your computer? Just imagine all the fields of applications there could be! Then imagine including a physics simulation co-processor...

cool read! exciting stuff going on here.... big up mr. schneider for pushing this forward. if it ends up being practical and usable and decent-sounding, then i will have the same problem as someone already mentioned in this thread...

"i need a new video card, but no, not for gaming... promise!"

Could you send me the two log files of the gpu delay after it crashed? This would help.

Hi Nils,
Just wanted to let you know, that the new version of the gpudelay is the first that works on my system

Haven't tried the chorus 'cause I only have a geforce fx5200, so it won't work anyway but the delay seems to work just fine. I'll try the chorus on my laptop though were I have a geforce 6600go, that should work, right?

Thanks a lot for your great work!

cheers,

Niko

The last version works on my FX5200.

All Geforce 5... cards support PS 2.0b so the chorus should work, too.

it works on Radeon9550

Just wanted to ask the same

The chorus shouldn't be possible if wikipedia isn't wrong about the radeon 9550 specs....

dimitar · Post by **dimitar** » Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:01 pm

only the delay!

Thanks Nils and akisd28, indeed the chorus works fine too

cheers,

Niko

Hi Nils,

I just want to let you know that your plugins are running on my old PNY GFORCE 5200 PCI 128MB.

Great work.
cheers

i mean in general?
