4.3 DSP Resource Management

Due to the Duende PCIe having multiple DSP chips, a

minimal amount of resource management should be done

when running Duende PCIe at high load.
If there are, for example 2 slots free and you wish to load a

stereo plug-in, Duende PCIe will under certain conditions

notify you that you are out of DSP resources. This will only

happen if the two slots are on different DSP chips as Duende

PCIe is not able to load a stereo plug-in across 2 chips. This

may well occur because you have filled up all the resources

and subsequently unloaded 2 mono plug-ins. This situation

can be seen in the diagram below.

As you can see above, the two remaining slots reside on

different DSP chips and in this case when you attempt to load

a stereo plug-in you will encounter the above mentioned

situation.

The way to handle this is as follows:
1. Save your project/song
2. Close your project/song
3. Re-open project/song
When this has been done Duende PCIe will be forced to reload

all the plug-ins but will do so in the most economical way

possible. The 2 free slots will now reside on the same DSP

chip allowing the loading of a stereo plug-in.
