Sujet Sam 9, quad core et vista

Citation : Version 9.x hybrid engine uses two engines, which work parallel:

1. the economy engine working with larger buffers and processing
all object FX and economy track FX. Usually these larger buffers alone
reduce CPU load a lot

2. the low latency engine, which does the rest and is more or less
comparable to the mix engine of most other hosts

Since 9.0 the low latency engine could take advantage of 2 CPUs,
since 9.1 also the economy engine can do this.
So already version 9.1 can use 4 CPUs or cores for audio processing:
2 cores for every engine.

But I agree, that there can be done more optimisations, since
the core distribution still depends very much on the project
structure:
-you need to use object FX and economy tracks to benefit from
the economy engine
-the core distribution additionally depends too much on the signal flow,
so currently there's no distribution at all for AUX/submix busses, for
VSTi and for audio tracks fed by VSTi

For version 10 we've started to solve the latest limitation.
Testing shows success here, but there are still some issues to be
solved, so it's not officially available in version 10.0.
Based on the progress there, we can also continue to extend CPU
distribution for one single engine to more than 2 CPUs.

So for 10.0 the answer to the question

>will v10 be optimized for quad cores?

is: yes, but in the same way as 9.1.1.
