Additive synthesis with DIASS-M4C on Argonne National Laboratory's IBM POWERparallel System (SP)

摘要

DIASS-M4C, a digital additive instrument was implemented on the Argonne National Laboratory's IBM POWER parallel System (SP). This paper discusses the need for a massively parallel supercomputer and shows how the code was parallelized. The resulting sounds and the degree of control the user can have justify the effort and the use of such a large computer.
