01-processes-spawning.py - Simple processes spawning, no synchronization.

Need at least 4 cores to be really effective.

Usage:

python3 -i 01-processes-spawning.py

    audio = "jack"
elif sys.platform.startswith("darwin"):

    print("Multicore examples don't run under Windows... Sorry!")
    exit()
