<glossentry id="gt-dsp">
<glossterm><acronym>DSP</acronym></glossterm>
<glossdef>
<para>
Acronym of Digital Signal Processing, a very general term for processing
of any digital signal by digital means. In &ARDOUR_NAME;'s context, it generally
refers to the processing peformed on audio signals by &ARDOUR_NAME; and by plugins.
It is often talked of in terms of DSP `load', referring to the amount of CPU power
that Ardour is using for its signal processing. This load increases with the
number of tracks and plugins that a session uses. A computer will have an upper
limit to the amount of DSP it can perform, depending on its CPU and RAM speed and
many other factors.
