  • How to use multiple networked PCs, to gain cpu cores with Platinum?

Sir Les
Is that possible with Platinum?

I don't think so. I'd be interested to hear about the monstrous projects you're running though :)

Well if one can do it, why not try...just trying is doing something to make it more of...so more things work better.
 
If windows uses the cpu...and other things needs, and one only has so many cores working...on a said PC platform...and has many older machines, sittiing around doing nothing but running older oses like 98se or xp...because they are old machines, not supporting newer software and coding...the cpu is still able to help out,....Waste not want not?....surely not trash yet...so something could be salvaged of them...and perhaps remove some burdens...like midi, or such with...and in doing this...one studio networked to many...might Like seti become one big brain working on a problem...and enough brain cells working on it...usually solve for it....is my muse to find out if it is the root or cause for buggy performances with PC or MAC....Working On PC right now....many problems just with the OS....as usual with one machine and cpu hits./spikes when doing work in a program that shows the cpu usage....I watch intently...even when idol...over time something causes to my own eye.
So if one is having issues....one might be able to tie in more processing power to run with less of that....eh?
 
Not ready to buy a 8 core PC at the higher prices of extremes, if ms os is going to persist in this undermining of the software developers needs...in DAWs, to get clean recordings, and no drop outs when using FXs and Plugin instruments...As it does here with one machine with 4 cores.
 
No issues with the Mac yet....8 cores...so is more better?....I wonder.
 
Just food for thought while I seek bliss with both.
 
Click the blue link...and see what's cooking.

well bitbridge originally was "teleport fx" (or something similar) which was its purpose -slaving VSTs off networked PCs, so maybe there's some possibility to uncomment the networking code? http://www.fx-max.com/fxt/

Sir Les
That is what I am looking for...mostly..Thanks Pwalwal!
 
Not sure if it has been expanded upon??, in bios or eprom chip to perform without OS or app running on the machines...So if it is something like "video cards GPUs and the linking methods they use ( To link more than one card together) one could connect same principle port to all motherboards, and run through bios chipset selection...(perhaps)...and on that port the machine's cpu is available to be used, and system memory logged and managed...could help also...just thinking for the box...so boxes do not go to waste bins and garbage piles....could be a good thing...is oh so many ways....Yet it is not yet with in hole reach...but in part it is thought out...with that app.....Thanks for posting it.
 
Now some are having issues with using DAWs and other devices/ports causing issues with audio devices (USB and Firewire),when in playback or recording mode......So is it possible with Platinum to use certain ports like Ethernet cables and nic cards, or lan, or wi fi...(if it were possible with just a BIOS chip coded)....is just a question, as some transmission ports may cause issues with just running on one machine...trying to use some DAWs and audio drivers...with certain ports being used or added can be iffy business, if something is causing issues/like os or app or services....with one running certain os and app and daw using Ethernet or Lan based or wi fi connection devices...conflicts occur with cpu time.
 
So I will read up, I know they did this for the making of Babylon 5 with Amiga and perhaps other systems connected to do it quicklly...some time back....Yet I do not see it much in PC unity ported formation as a standard possible connection built in, or on for that purpose, that works in that way with just the MB......Might solve other issues, if mapping the os and software and plug ins....to exclusive cpus that have no interrupts  of IRQs with an os running.....Is my mind to achieve...and see if that is another issue with PCs...and the design of that system being sold without...when the bios is able to be flashed, and now two of em on some systems...why not?..
 
 
If it can be resolved by adding more cpus to run one system, and make exclusive cpu time to one task able to set, to all apps and os and driver of choice.....it could pay off in stability in all areas....if all areas of the box making and software written there for, of it made allowance for such a feature..to work at best and most efficiant?..it could be of interests to all?...and reduce it there after intoa more robust experience .....smaller and smaller eventually.....Like they do now....one phone does mostly all...and is portable....but once covered a city block or more in the beginning the first computer....it was big....in the end it was small, and many fit into one hand...a chip of bios....seems a common theme through out time....USE what is available to solve for x.
 
if it ain't working....we find ways to make it work.....Just thinking, and seeking knowledge, at the moment...a way to make it work better, what is here....with what is available here now in one spot...collected...and what is out already to make it , if not already made...
 
Again thanks for the link...Much research to do....and learning no doubt about this subject..and burning eprom code to bios chips..so less is more, and more is less hair loss, and more cheer we hope for some to learn!

something like vienna ensemble pro?

It's possible to use midi and audio over ethernet. It's not super-smooth but it's available and it doesn't has a lot to do with Sonar itself. It also has very little to do in a technical sense with "gaining cpu cores" although you would of course be harnessing another computer's power.

Well, like the UAD stuff having their own processing..... what if you run your VST's or a streaming library (I haven't got one unless BFD2 is one)on another PC via a DATA cable, perhaps. I remember reading about multiple PCs for rendering video a while ago. It just dawned on me that I now have 2 i7 PC's. How can I use them both?
This is interesting!

Yes...

I used to do this and as its vst oriented it will probably run on SPlat...

Teleport. Runs as a vst insert on the main daw, then runs on any networked machines as host for given plugin's...

Now this was back in the t100 days so gigabit Ethernet should make this work far better...

Problem? I'm guessing it's only 32 bit as everything was back then...

I must have a copy floating around, but not likely I'll find it any too soon... I'll see what some googling turns up...

Thanks Keni
I remember an article on multiple PC's and I'm sure that was the idea.
Both my i7 desktop and i7 laptop are 64 bit, but I haven't networked them yet. Desktop (DAW) is Windows 8 and the laptop is Windows 7. I wonder if they have to be the same, nowadays.
