Submission + - Revolutionary MF-401 Auto De-tune fixes music (moogmusic.com)

Submitted by
Max Romantschuk
Max Romantschuk writes: "Moog Music has released the MF-401 Auto De-tune, a revolutionary new DSP-device that promises to undo the clinical results of Auto-Tune. According to Moog Music, "even a T-Pain vocal can be restored to its complete original character, scrubbing the pitch correction and leaving the untreated vocal in all its wavering sharp or flat glory." I for one welcome the return of our imperfect out-of-pitch-singing overlords."

Submission + - Auto-parallelizing compiler from Codeplay

Submitted by
Max Romantschuk
Max Romantschuk writes: "Parallelization of code is a very tricky thing. We've all heard of the challeges with Cell, and with dual and quad core pocessors this is becoming an ever more important issue to deal with. The Inquirer writes about a new auto-parallelizing compiler called Sieve from Codeplay: What Sieve is is a C++ compiler that will take a section of code and parallelize it for you with a minimum hassle. All you really need to do is take the code you want to run across multiple CPUs and put beginning and end tags on the parts you want to run in parallel.

Is this the Silver Bullet of parallelization? There's more info on Sieve on Codeplay's site."

Submission + - Prospects of the CPU+GPU combo?

Submitted by
Max Romantschuk
Max Romantschuk writes: "NVIDIA has apparently confirmed they are working on an x86 CPU with integrated graphics. The target market seems to be OEM:s, but what other prospects could a solution like this have? Given recent development with projects like Folding@Home's GPU client it can't help but make you wonder about the possibilities of a CPU with an integrated GPU. Things like video encoding and decoding, audio processing and other applications could benefit a lot from a low latency CPU+GPU combo. What if you could put multiple chips like these in one machine? With AMD+ATI and Intel's own integrated graphics, will basic GPU functionality be integrated in all CPU's eventually? Will dedicated graphics cards become a niche product for enthusiasts and pros, like audio cards already largely have?"
