I recently (last friday) got my MSc graduation
with a thesis on
physics-based (a.k.a. physical) modeling for sound processing and was
just about to post a link on this mailing list.

Auguri & congratulations !
Ti ringrazio :-)
The tube amp example is really nice - including
the interaction
with the speaker - all of it: electrical, mechanical and acoustic.
This is also the first time I see both the impedance and mobility
models explained in a graduation paper. The fact that the two
exist is the source of *lots* of confusion - you did well to
include this, even if it's just a detail in the whole paper.
Well, since almost nobody is into this stuff at my home university I
thought it was a good idea to try to explain most things, even if not
in much detail (the whole thing was mostly prepared during my Erasmus
exchange programme in Helsinki, and there is a whole department
working on this stuff there).
A question: how many iterations does the tube
model typically
require to converge to the required precision ?
I have to admit I don't know, I will check and let you know. ;-)
I hope you will continue to develop Permafrost,
even without
optimisation it would make a very nice simulation tool.
Eh... it depends on what is going to happen now, whether I will find a
job or continue within the university and how much spare time I will
be able to have. Money, damn money!
In the meanwhile I already restarted working on it and there is also a
friend of mine helping me (but he's a total beginner in "serious"
programming).. let's see what happens.
BTW, if somebody can offer me a job or a PhD or anything to keep me
working on these things... :-)
You never know with this list. It might help if you say what kind of job
would enable you to do that.
