CoolColJ : im music producer too, where i can listen your music ?

I don't have any music online at the moment. Most of the stuff I did was a while ago, back in the vinyl days
But here are some my synth demos I did a while back of my Minimoog and SH2 synths

BTW bidrectional MLT on GPU. Under 2 mins and it looks well developed already

And he has done ERPT on GPU as well

Nice, but from my mastering engineer side of my brain's opinon, the tracks sound heavily compressed and limited for maximum loudness. Not really a fan of that sound texture, too squashed

I did a vinyl EP of Jungle and breakbeat stuff a long time ago, inspired by the Prodigy

Some very nice tracks there, dcm. Thanks for posting.

I put one of my old jungle/breakbeat1994 vinyl songs on Youtube. Off course the music I write now is totally different!

I write more electronic, melodic, relaxing IDM style music these days

More indicative of my more recent slant, music wise

various bits and pieces

My Alesis Andromeda demo songs

Audio Montage clip is up - trying to be a little more creative video wise

pads, drones, things and FX

Just a collection of my fav banks/patches from the Alesis site, way back then, somehow seemed to fit together when I played them in that order

Youtube auto tag suggestion somehow came up with - horror, psychedelic keyboard "synthesized music
Does it actually scan the audio and video content? hmmmmmm

Well I finally bought a Gigabyte 570GTX OC card this week with a massive 3 fan heatsink, it's pretty quiet though, even under load, and you can control the fan curve with the MSI afterburner software - works with all Nvida cards

This card is fast for the money!
with my 4GHz i7 930 , in games it just rips through em with all options turned on.
Tried the Octane render demo and it's blazing!

One thing I love about the Nvida cards, drivers, is that everything is included. No need to mess around to get Cuda and OpenCL installed. When I had an ATI 4670, one had to go hunting for the obscure OpenCL installtions and jump through hoops to get em installed!!!

ATI also has "one click" driver for openCL now.
No need to install any SDK's and stuff like before.

Looks like nvidia seriously optimized the new 275.xx series drivers for OpenCL. I guess Fermi still has the leading architecture for computing even it has less power compute than ATi (GTX 580 @ 1,7 teraflop vs HD6970 @ 2,7 teraflop).

[CoolColJ]

It's a crying shame I can't put my GTX570 OC card to use with MLT

[CTZn]

I can understand CoolColJ, I for one wished to make a tour throughout the solar system in two months... you know, orbiting Jupiter for 5 days, taking giant jumps on Choron, playing Asteroïds for real in the Oort cloud (the following trip), aaahhh...



More likely, Ono seemed optimistic about a GPU accelerated bidir method, and since MLT is mutating bidir paths...

I'm not saying though, I don't know what would the technical challenge take, provided that even your GTX570 has limitations. However, optimizing MLT as such could be a huge step even before it is accelerated, I'm pretty sure it is correct to state so.

It's all guesswork from me tho.

We're definitely going to spend some time on the GPU and MLT implementations in 3.x

Thanks for the test scene CoolColJ!

[CoolColJ]

Well it's quite possible, someone's done it

Judging by the noise patterns it looks legit

Yup, Dietger has done some excellent work! He's not using a hybrid approach though, and pure GPU methods are another thing we might explore in the future
