Hi List, I have taken the program midiFMsynth.c written by Dr. Nagorni and built it on two machines: a PS3/YDL and another AMD64 (processing speed 2ghz) host (2.6.18-1.2200.fc5). I calculated the running time (in microseconds) for the program that performs the pcm calculation and got some interesting (although discouraging) results. I ran the program two ways: with and without the call to snd_pcm_writei. The results were: PS3: with sound 11501 us; without sound 1200 us AMD64: with sound 379 us; without sound 280 us Is there anyone that can shed light on the differences. I would have expected similar results from both systems. Thanks. John Dey ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
