Hi,

I've have a desire to create an asynchronous compute process in my
Performer program to do some calculations that may span many frame
times. I have read the man pages on setting PFMP_FORK_COMPUTE mode in
pfMultiprocess and in defining a callback using pfComputeFunc but am a
little fuzzy on the specifics of passing data back and forth from my
main app and the compute process. Do I have to use a pfFlux or do I use
pfPassComputeData or both? I have searched the archive and all demo apps
in vain for an example of using this feature of Performer. Can anyone
point me to an example please?

Thanks,
