SYSTEM TO PROCESS A PLURALITY OF AUDIO SOURCES
First Claim
1. A system to process a plurality of audio sources, the system comprising:
- a central processing unit comprising at least two cores in a symmetric architecture, each core representing a general purpose micro processing unit of similar design, at least one core being loaded with a standard operating system and at least one second core being loaded with a real-time operating system in charge of processing audio signals which comprise audio inputs and audio outputs, andan interface connected to the central processing unit.

Abstract
Today, even despite the huge increase of available processing power, the commercial OS are not able to guarantee the response time necessary to process a plurality of audio sources and output the results in a very short time without using additional means such as dedicated DSP or other processing elements such as FPGA. This problem is overcome by means of a system to process a plurality of audio sources, this system having at least a central processing unit CPU and input and output capabilities, this system being characterized in that, the central processing unit comprises at least two cores, each core representing a micro processing unit, at least one core being loaded with a standard operating system and at least one second core being loaded with a real-time operating system (RTOS) in charge of processing audio signals which comprise audio sources and audio outputs.
