%0 Book Section %D 1999 %T Exploiting Parallelism in Real-Time Music and Audio Applications %A Chaudhary, Amar %A Freed, Adrian %A Wessel, David %C Heidelberg %I Springer Berlin %P 49-54 %U http://www.springerlink.com/content/81314334t1w10x48/ %X We introduce a scalable, extensible object-oriented system developed primarily for signal processing and synthesis for musical and multimedia applications. The main performance issue with these applications concerns functions of discrete-time. Novel techniques exploit fine-grain parallelism in the calculation of these functions to allow users to express them at a high-level in C++. New scheduling strategies are used to exploit symmetric multiprocessors with emphasis on special hard real-time constraints. %@ 978-3-540-66818-3
