GMPI can be composed by several specific SDK 2 or 3 divisions should be
great.

We have already discussed about that,
- the float32 is enough accurate for signal representation.
- this not forbids to use float64 parameters for computation.
- this is compatible with all host and recent DSP.
- 64bits float take 2 times more resources (CPU, BUS CACHE)
- if there is a sound difference between 32float or 64bit float processing
this is mainly due to the parameters (and to be precise it's due to a better
translation between the public parameters - e.g; Fr, G, Q - and the private
parameters used by algorithm, it's not a real proble m of computation
precision but a problem of distorsion between two result of parameters
translation) but not due to the representation of the signal.
