What does RT % mean?
3 October, 2020 - 03:54 — amcclard
Hi,
We are new to Jack, and are trying to understand what the RT % number means? Can anybody explain it to me? My colleague and I are using qjackctl with jacktrip, and notice that we have differing numbers here, but aren't sure what to make of it.
Thanks!

re. What does RT % mean?
hi,
the (usually blinking) "RT" means that JACK is up and running in real-time mode;
the value in percentage "%" represents the total DSP load of all active clients running under the JACK graph: theoretically, it is the fraction to the nominal period cycle time that is being consumed by processing all the current JACK participants alone; this of course refers to the machine/node on where qjackctl/JACK service is running; different machines (connected through jacktrip) may have different workloads and thus their respective %DSP loads will vary, obviously.
hth.
cheers
