Convention Paper

An Associative Shared Memory Approach to Audio Connection Management

Authors: Eales, Andrew; Foss, Richard

AES Convention 137 · Paper 9216 · October 2014

Abstract

A distributed, associative memory that advertises audio streams and represents audio connections between networked audio devices is described. Characteristic features of a shared, associative memory are discussed, and three parameter-based models that represent audio signals and audio connections are introduced. Connection management is then discussed with reference to a distributed, associative memory environment. This environment allows changes made to audio connections to be automatically propagated to all networked devices, while also eliminating potential race conditions between connection requests. Additionally, connection management applications can be shared between different networked devices and controllers.
