Year in Review
Here are my notes:
- Code: git commits from 2020's REAPER v6.19+dev1231 to v6.43+dev1231 for which I am the claimed author (excluding merges): 2,264
- Code: cumulative changes (I'm not sure how to limit this to just my commits so it's global, including third-party SDKs and schwa): 1711 files changed, 132415 insertions(+), 121934 deletions(-)
- Running (from Strava): 1,366 miles, 44,850ft of climbing, 219 hours. Mileage about the same as 2019, though far less climbing (2019 was 66kft) and a half dozen fewer hours. I've had something or other bothering me nonstop all year but only rarely keeping me from running (at the moment my left glute/hamstring is a bit tight). My high water year for miles was 2017, which was 1,444 (with similar elevation of 44kft, covered in 216 hours). Ah youth.
- Bicycling: 3,148 miles, 92,560ft of climbing, 346 hours (I'm sure I forgot to record some rides but then there's also probably some GPS errors giving me bonus miles).
These were mostly as transportation or leisure rides, I only rode the road bike 67 of those miles (sorry, buddy. I'll take you out soon). The brompton got about 200 miles (mostly in San Francisco), and the cargo bike even got 100 miles.
The Casseroll single speed is my favorite (thanks, Alex!). This year I replaced its handlebars (Surly Open Bar + stem extender, and a cupholder), seat, front tire, bottom bracket, freewheel (after the old one failed in February, though it was fixed gear 3:1 for a good 6 months before going back to 12:5 freewheel), and twice (March and December) its chain. The brompton also got a new chain.
- Music played with others: 62 sessions, producing about 87 hours of (very-loosely) edited music. The pandemic made this difficult. Singing with a mask on has its own challenges.
- Music recorded alone: I did about 20 super8 sessions, producing about 9.5 hours of music/youtube videos. Also I recorded 37 doodles, about 2 hours of music.
- It is probably for the best that I don't have many consumption numbers, such as paper products, disposable masks worn, etc.

realtime audio on macOS in the age of asymmetrical multicore CPUs
It's now time when I bitch about, and document my experiences dealing with Apple's documentation/APIs/etc. For some
reason I never feel the need to do this on other platforms, maybe it's that they tend to have better documentation
or less fuss to deal with, I'm not sure why, but anyway if you search for "macOS" on this blog you'll find previous installments. Anyway, let's begin.
A bit over a year ago Apple started making computers with their own CPUs, the M1. These have 8 or more cores, but have a mix of slower and faster cores, the slower cores having lower power consumption (whether or not they are more efficient per unit of work done is unclear, it wouldn't surprise me if their efficiency was similar under full load, but anyway now I'm just guessing).
The implications for realtime audio of these asymmetric cores is pretty complex and can produce all sorts of weird behavior. The biggest issue seems to be when your code ends up running on the efficiency cores even though you need the results ASAP, causing underruns. Counterintuitively, it seems that under very light load, things work well, and under very heavy load, things work well, but for medium loads, there is failure. Also counterintuitively, the newer M1 Pro and M1 Max CPUs, with more performance cores (6-8) and fewer efficiency cores (2), seem to have a larger "medium load" range where things don't work well.
The short summary:
- Ignore the thread QoS APIs, for realtime audio they're apparently not applicable (and do not address these issues). This was the biggest timesink for me -- I spend a ton of time going "why doesn't this QoS setting do anything?" Also Xcode has a CPU meter and for each thread it says "QoS unavailable"... so confusing.
- If a normal thread yields via usleep() or pthread_cond_timedwait() for more than a few hundred microseconds, it'll likely end up running on an efficiency core when it resumes (and it takes an eternity in terms of audio blocks to get bumped back to a performance core, by which there's been an underrun and the thread probably will go back to sleep anyway). Reducing all sleeps/waits to at most a few hundred microseconds is a way to avoid that fate (though Apple recommends against spinning, likely for good reason). It's not ideal, but you can effectively pin normal threads to performance cores using this method.
- Porting Your Audio Code to Apple Silicon was the most helpful guide (I wish I had seen the link at the bottom of one of the other less-helpful guides sooner! so much time wasted...), though it assumes some knowledge which doesn't seem to be linked in the document:
You want to get your realtime threads in the same thread workgroup as the CoreAudio device's (via kAudioDevicePropertyIOThreadOSWorkgroup), and to do that you first have to make your threads realtime threads using thread_policy_set(THREAD_TIME_CONSTRAINT_POLICY) (side note: we probably should have been doing this already, doh), ideally with the similar parameters that the coreaudio thread uses, which seems to be a period and constraint of ((1000000000.0 * blocksize * mach_timebase_info().denom) / (mach_timebase_info().numer * srate), and a computation of half that. If you don't set this policy, it will fail adding your thread to the workgroup (EINVAL in that case means "thread is not realtime" and not "workgroup is canceled" per the docs). Once you do that, you do effectively get your threads locked to performance cores, and can start breathing again.
Perhaps this was all obvious and documented and I failed to read the right things, but anyway I'm just putting this here in case somebody like me would find it useful.

shut up new york
The sensation of paddling across the river on a warm October night,
lit by the lights of the city reflected back from the clouds, Jupiter
(or was it Saturn?) poking through, hypnotized by the smooth but
significant swells of the rising tide that (counterintuitively) tries
to send us to the harbor and out to the sea, the rhythms of the
neighboring boats paddling, rising and falling, things that probably
could be captured with technology but instead will be stored in wet
memory, dreamed about on the cold days to follow.

2006-me was an idiot
Hopefully in 2036 I'm not calling 2021-me an idiot, too. Here's an interesting old bug situation:
Dan Worrall posted a video on the 1175 JSFX, which was written by Scott Stillwell, way back in 2006, and graciously provided for inclusion with REAPER. In this video, Dan finds that the ratio control is completely broken, and posits a fix to it (adding a division by 2.1).
Sure enough, the code was broken. I went looking through the code1 to see why, and sure enough, there's a line which includes a multiply by 2.08136898, which seems completely arbitrary and incorrect! OK, so we see the bug 2. How did that constant get there?
When the 1175 JSFX was originally written, REAPER and JSFX were very young, and the JSFX log() (natural log, we'll call it by ln() from now on) and log10() implementations were broken. On a 8087 FPU, there are instructions to calculate logarithms, but they work in base 2, so to calculate ln(x) you use log2(x)/log2(e) 3. Prior to REAPER 1.29 it was mistakenly log2(x)*log2(e), due to the ordering of an fdiv being wrong4 and insufficient (or non-existent, rather) testing. So when that got fixed, it actually fixed various JSFX to behave correctly, and that should've been the end of it. This is where the stupid part comes in.
I opted to preserve the existing behavior of existing JSFX for this change, modifying code that used log() functions to multiply log2(e)*log2(e), which is .... 2.08136898. Doh. I should've tested these plug-ins before deciding to make the change. Or at least understood them.
Anyway, that's my story for the day. I'm rolling my eyes at my past self. As a footnote, schwa found that googling that constant finds some interesting places where that code has been reused, bug and all.
* 1 (beyond our SVN commits and all the way back to our VSS commits, all of which have thankfully been imported into git)
* 2 (and it will be fixed in REAPER 6.26, we're calling the non-fixed mode "Broken Capacitor" because that felt about right)
* 3 (or if you're clever and care about speed, log2(x)*ln(2) because ln(X) = logX(X)/logX(e) and logX(X)=1, but now my head hurts from talking about logarithms)
* 4 I haven't fully tested but I think it was working correctly on Jesusonic/linux, and when porting the EEL2 code to MSVC I didn't correctly convert it.

Ah, Big Sur
This most recent (as of this blog post) macOS update (and new architecture) has raised a number of issues with REAPER development -- I'm documenting them here in hopes of it being useful to someone:
- If you're using the Hardened Runtime (for notarization) and have the com.apple.security.device.audio-input entitlement set, if you link against the latest SDKs you also _MUST_ have the NSMicrophoneUsageDescription set in your application's .plist, otherwise it will never prompt.
- If you create a CGImage using CGImageCreate(), draw it using CGContextDrawImage(), and release it, that underlying image data is accessed by the system at a later time when the drawing actually occurs. This will cause all kinds of bugs in all kinds of software. We work around it by forcing Metal on various views where this isn't safe.
- If you call MIDISend() with 250 or more events at the same timestamp, it will crash. (thanks to @helgoboss for isolating this)
- Rosetta2 is amazing -- just don't try to get it to run x87 code. EEL2 still generates x87 code, so JSFX on REAPER-intel on an M1 is incredibly slow. A quick benchmark in EEL2 gave me this: arm64 native: 1.25s, arm64 bytecode: 4.18s, rosetta2 x86_64 bytecode 9.18s, rosetta2 x86_64 x87 code 59s. (bytecode is EEL2 in portable non-JIT mode). The benchmark I used was actually pretty low on math, I think on DSP code it's probably even worse, like a 100x slowdown.
side note: so now, I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with this. I did an EEL2-SSE branch a while back, and I have it working again, but it's about 20% slower than the x87 version in a lot of important cases. Tempted to make a jsfx-sse.dylib and only use it if running in Rosetta2. Also tempted to overhaul EEL2 to optimize for non-stack based architectures (which would also greatly improve the aarch64 version). The answer probably is something more incremental, like introduce some helpful optimizations into EEL2's code generation that will help get the SSE version up to parity. Of course, there will be little quirks that differ between the SSE and x87 versions, so those will need ages and ages of testing to get ironed out.
There were other things that came up that aren't as interesting. When launching Audio MIDI Setup.app, the new path is /System/Applications/Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup.app rather than /Applications, for example. Apple likes to change the appearance of NSTableViews and then provide ways to get them partially back to their previous style, but not all the way. Stuff like that... Dealing with macOS updates and compatibility is really not enjoyable. So tiring. Though the x87 vs SSE thing isn't their fault -- no x86_64 system has ever not had SSE...
