Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides apparatus and methods which allow music synthesis and audio processing tasks to dynamically scale from a default processor to additional processors in a heterogeneous array of processors in a manner transparent to the user. A router running on one of the processors in the array knows or estimates the load on each processor, and dynamically allocates processing tasks based upon the current load on each processor and its capacity. Processing parameters are shared between all the audio processors to ensure that perceived audio quality is independent of where a task is running.
