AUDIO MULTICORE PROCESSING

Audio data processing is done in multiple data processors in a multiprocessor system or in multiple processing instances in a multi-instance system. The system includes shared memory, the shared memory being read and write accessible to all of the data processors or instances. The multiprocessor or multi-instance audio processing is designed by placing representations of audio processing modules in a user interface, as well as a representation of an inter-process communications (IPC) module that includes a target core or target processing instance identifier associated therewith. The specified target core or target instance identifier is applied downstream from the representation of the IPC module such that the target core or instance identifier is associated with the representations of the subsequent downstream audio modules in the audio design.
