Hey,
thanks for reaching out again. No, this is not normal at all. The NONE should run fine on almost all systems. Could you build and run the benchmarks? Especially the advanced-benchmark should give us some insight into the performance. Delete the build folder, configure cmake and rebuild:
cmake . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DANIRA_WITH_BENCHMARK=ON -DANIRA_WITH_EXAMPLES=ON
cmake --build build --config Release
Then run the benchmark with:
ctest -R Benchmark.Advanced -VV --timeout 100000
You don't need to run the full benchmark, as that could take quite some time. The beginning should help us. Then it would be great if you could post the results here.
Cheers, Fares
Unfortunately the tests are not found, here's what I get:

Might have to do with the fact that I'm using Ninja on Windows ?
I was able to start the advanced-benchmark.exe
, and let it run for the first model on all 4 backends. Here are the results:

As a side remark, the benchmark wasn't maxxing my CPU when running, reached around 30-40% on average.
Thanks! With the small buffer size of 64 your system is definitely to slow to infer the steerable nafx model with all three backends. While the buffer size of 64 samples with a sample rate of 44.1k gives us 1.4512 ms for processing, your system takes 32.3 ms for the fastest backend onnx in mean. But we can see that the none backend is fast enough 0.312 ms.
But, since this is not the model we use in the juce plugin and the buffersize is very small could you change the following lines in the defineAdvancedBenchmark.cpp
:
std::vector<int> bufferSizes = {64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192};
std::vector<anira::InferenceBackend> inferenceBackends = {anira::LIBTORCH, anira::ONNX, anira::TFLITE, anira::NONE};
std::vector<AdvancedInferenceConfigs> advancedInferenceConfigs = {cnnAdvancedConfigs, hybridNNAdvancedConfigs, statefulRNNAdvancedConfigs};
to
std::vector<int> bufferSizes = {2048};
std::vector<anira::InferenceBackend> inferenceBackends = {anira::LIBTORCH, anira::ONNX, anira::TFLITE, anira::NONE};
std::vector<AdvancedInferenceConfigs> advancedInferenceConfigs = { hybridNNAdvancedConfigs};
and report back the benchmarks.
Also what buffer size are you using in the juce plugin?
Here's the benchmark for GuitarLSTM with a buffer size of 2048. This is the side I was using when running the plugin in JUCE AudioPluginHost with ASIO drivers.

Seems like with 2048 samples you should be able to run the plugin, espacially with onnx and the bypass engine. What buffer size did you try?
I was using a buffer size of 2048 with the ASIO driver. I think the problem I'm seeing isn't directly related to audio processing. Windows 10 starts freezing once I open the juce-example-plugin and let it run for a few seconds, so it looks like the message thread is being blocked somehow, or some problem with a lock somewhere. I don't remember having this problem on Linux but I had to switch to Windows. Could it be related to the ANIRA_WITH_SEMAPHORE
option set to ON ?
If it's a Windows specific issue, @vackva might be of better help..
It would surprise me, but yes you could try setting the ANIRA_WITH_SEMAPHORE
option to off. It would be also helpful if you could start the plugin in debug mode and trace back where the plugin crashes.
Ok, will try all this in the coming days!
Cool, thanks!
To clarify, there is no crash, just an overall lag of the OS once I start a plugin that involves anira. So this isn't really traceable through Debug. I'll try to profile the program with something like Perfetto, there might be some problem with the message thread on Windows for some reason.
Hi again,
Curiously there doesn't seem to be any problem with the nn-inference-template plugin (which comes with anira 0.1.0 if I'm correct). I didn't have the time to investigate further. Will keep you updated if I find the source of the problem.
Hi there, Thanks for checking - I am very curious to find out more! You might also try updating the anira version of the nn-inference-template and see if that causes the same crashes. Anyway, thanks for your debugging already. Unfortunately, I cannot help with debugging since I do not have a Windows system.
The problems seems to be directly related to the semaphore. I pulled the latest version of the anira submodule in nn-inference-template, and the problem was still there, unless I set ANIRA_WTH_SEMAPHORE
to OFF
. In this latter case the CPU usage is very reasonable (sub 20%).
Do I understand it correctly, that the version anira v0.1.0 does not have the problem (in both nn-inference-template and buildt-in juce-plugin-example)?
Yes, from what I've seen:
I didn't test 0.1.0 with juce-plugin-example, only in nn-inference-template.
Actually the problem appears / disappears simply by swapping the anira.dll
file from the different versions in the executable folder.
Ok, thank you! We will investigate this further in the next days and let you know when we think to have found a fix. In the meantime it might be best for you to use anira v0.1.2 with the ANIRA_WITH_SEMAPHORE
set to OFF
. Just for the record, anira v0.1.0 uses semaphores by default - so it must be the implementation of the option without semaphores that caused the bug in the semaphore version...
I just confirmed the issue reported by @mchagneux with the MSVC compiler and generator. I traced the bug to commit 30abde5.
I resolved the issue by reverting timeForExit
to the original value of 1 millisecond in InferenceThread.cpp
:
void InferenceThread::run() {
// std::chrono::microseconds timeForExit(500); // new value since 0.1.1
std::chrono::milliseconds timeForExit(1); // value used until 0.1.0
...
}
It appears that using std::chrono::microseconds
is causing issues when multiple threads are active. However, when limiting the number of threads to 5 (out of 24 available), std::chrono::microseconds
worked without issues.
Great, thanks! Will check this out once it's merged into main.
Hi Mathis, We have updated our entire thread synchronization and scheduling architecture with several improvements. Although we only have a timeForExit of 50 microseconds now, everything should run much smoother now. It would be great if you could test this again. We have backported the changes to tag v0.1.2, so you can either try the juce-example-plugin with this tag or the latest main. The nn-inference-template will be updated soon. Thanks for reporting the issue and testing - this was truly helpful! Cheers!
The nn-inference-template has now been updated as well. So I consider this issue solved. Feel free to reopen if you still encounter problems.

Just tried it and it's working perfectly now, thanks for the fix!
Hi,
I've built the juce example plugin and tried different backends. My machine is not really new (i7-7820HQ) but I'm still a bit surprised by the CPU usage of the example plugin (practically 100% and the OS freezes after a few seconds of use). Surprisingly this is also the case for the NONE backend. Is this expected behaviour that the NONE backend also consumes CPU ? Just checking to see if I missed something or if it's just my machine that can't handle basic ML workloads on CPU.
Mathis.
