Excepting cases like nonlinear algorithms where subsequent samples rely on previous results, calculating sound vectors - where you're repeating a process over and again seems like a good case for parallelism and therefore GPU usage.

Has anyone tried writing MaxMSP externals to work this way?

Note that you can use GPU for video or audio processing in Max without writing externals: check out Jitter Tutorial 42.

I'm not looking to write an external because I want to use the GPU though - I'm interested in potential to use GPU processing to improve performance of externals - the sorts of things I'd already want to write as externals to get the performance improvement.

Thanks - that's handy too.
