Generate Core and Check Again To get to the real number of cards, the full Generate Core process has to be
done first, as will be explained in the next chapter. Once this is finished, it
may happen that the requirements are less then estimated, and that your newly
edited configuration could fit on the existing co

Tip It is always recommended to run the Generate process before deciding whether
a desired configuration will fit on a given DSP core.
Reduce the Requirements
If you do not have enough installed DSP power, you can either reduce your
configuration slightly, by reducing the number of channels or by removing
some Dynamics or EQs you do not really need, or by reducing the number
of I/Os, until the configuration matches your actual card number.
Add More Power The other way is, of course, to plug in the additional required number of DSP
cards into the DSP frame and load your new configuration. You can even do
this while the power is on. You may need to add some HD Links if you are
expanding the number of physical I/Os.
6.3.3 Generate the Core File
To generate the core file for your new configuration, simply click on the
‘Generate / All’ menu item. This starts an automatic process which will end
up with a core file being saved in the same folder as the
*.vmc
file.
A fairly complicated procedure called Load Balancing will try to compress all
the required components of the new configuration into as few DSP cards as
possible, and, at the same time, try to distribute the workload evenly across
all necessary DSP cards.
You can follow what is happening on the screen. Most of the information
shown on screen will also be stored into a LOG file for later viewing.
Build VMC and Processes The Load Balancer first generates the VMC structure and then checks the
channels, shared processes, buses, and builds a DSP library.
