can we use DSP power integrated with the CPU power??

A place to talk about whatever Scope music/gear related stuff you want.

If i have top pentium4 with a very good system, how can i share some work load from the DSP to my CPU

may be 70% use DSP
30 % use CPU

possible ??

sorry, the dsp system cannot share ressources with your CPU.
But native (on P4 CPU) and dsp ( anything on sfp) can coexist peacefully. So you can use the power of your cpu for ,let´s say, a Native Instruments B4 and your sfp for mixing, another synth, whatever you want. Be aware that native stuff always has at least the latency of your ASIO driver, while sfp literally has no latency.

sfp= Scope Fusion Platform : the environment where you use dsp´s on the creamware cards. you can run any plugin compatible with sfp. the more dsp´s ( Luna,Pulsar,Scope cards) you have, the more plugins you can use.
You CANNOT run VST plugins on dsp, they ONLY run on your CPU ( Pentium3,P4, Athlon, and so on).This is also called "native".
If you have for example 1 VST plugin and 1 SFP plugin, you need a creamware card to run the sfp, and the vst-plugin still is running on you cpu.

sfp eating up cpu performance :wink:?

sfp does eat up very little cpu due to the graphic interface, and transfering deta thru PCI
