This Wiki should be used to put in your experience and help to develop ideas "howto build a PD-Computer". Please feel free to contribute comment and rewrite things in here.
Because the needs are different we should invent some categories for that. Here a list of Application with needed features (discussed in subpages and reuseable) and a Link to the categroy where solutions are discussed.
High End GEM Computer
On Stage dual head OPEN/GL with good videotroughput from disk.
Best performance, dual head, but tranportable and robust for concerts
solution discussion:
features and why:
- dual/quadro projection on large screens
- high rendering power
- lot of disk space and high disk throughput
- robust for use on stages
- networking possibilities for computer cluster
SingleHeadPerformanceComputer?
...
Performance Computer doing concerts etc.
solution discussion:
- please your ideas here
case studies:
- KarmaPod "a custom, PD-centered portable performance instrument / portable studio HDR/synthesis / effectsbox/nintendo emulator, re-configurable all-purpose media-center funbox."
- ...
features and why:
- high dsp power
- robust for use on stages
- networking possibilities for computer cluster
Embedded Linux Audio/Video Computer
Mostly Diskless computers with low power comsumption and enough performance. Should be used for installation and robotic or rough environments and/or in a network dedicated for PD using sound and/or video.
Embedded Linux Sound Server
case study: see Embedded Linux Sound Server
Installation which are controlable over Net and fix installation working for a long time nonstop
Commercial Systems
- 20-2-2008: BluePD? developed by BlueMelon?. This system is designed to support physical computing when using sensors and actuators (BlueSense? modules) in Pure Data without employing a complete computer setup.
