This article reports performace measurement result related to AVX2-enabled plugins.
Test Environment
- Intel Core i7-6700K
- DDR4-2166 16GB main memory
- RME HDSPe AES
- Samplitude Pro X5
- Buffer Size: 256 samples
- A.O.M. Audio Plug-ins v1.11.4
Measurement
CPU Load[%] = Processing Time[second] ÷ (Buffer Size[samples] ÷ Sampling Frequnecy[Hz]) × 100- Used time profiler-enabled private build. Other settings (like optimization) are same to release build.
- std::chrono is used for time measurement.
