GPU Audio in Modern Creation and Industry Compute Platforms
Today’s computation platforms draw remarkable benefit from the parallelism capability of GPUs (Graphic Processing Units) for both visual rendering and non-visual workloads, including machine learning tasks. In contrast, audio processing has traditionally been handicapped due to algorithm topologies not readily mapping to GPU architectures. In this panel, we’ll learn from industry leaders about overcoming this persistent limitation in future GPU-powered compute platforms, thereby breaking workflow and efficiency barriers in embedded or cloud-based artistic and industrial applications. Meet the panelists for…

Atomic Clocks in Digital Audio
The sample clocks driving audio CODECs in digital recording systems have been based on crystal oscillators almost exclusively. Due to advances in materials and integration, atomic clocks can be deployed with electrical and footprint requirements on the order of integrated circuits. We investigate the applicability of current atomic clock varieties in controlling CODECs, with jitter performance an important quality factor. We also investigate the measurement of clock jitter in search of a method to capture anecdotal qualities of jitter in audio applications. Join us for this live…
