A COMPONENT-BASED SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE FOR REALTIME AUDIO PROCESSING SYSTEMS

Abstract

This paper describes a new software architecture for audio signal processing. The architecture was specifically designed low-latency, low-delay realtime applications in mind. Additionally, the frequently used paradigm of dividing the functionality into components all sharing the same interface, was adopted. The paper presents a systematic approach into structuring the processing inside the components by dividing the functionality into two groups of functions: realtime and control functions. The implementation options are also outlined with short descriptions of two existing implementations of the architecture. An algorithm example highlighting the benefits of the architecture concludes the paper.
