public JavaSoundAudioBackend()

Method Details

getType

public String getType()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Returns the backend type category (e.g., "plotting", "molecular", "tensor", "math").

Specified by:

getType in interface AudioBackend

Specified by:

getType in interface Backend

Specified by:

getType in interface ComputeBackend

Specified by:

getType in interface CPUBackend

getId

public String getId()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Returns the unique identifier for this backend (e.g., "javafx", "jmol", "cuda").

Specified by:

getId in interface AudioBackend

Specified by:

getId in interface Backend

Specified by:

getId in interface ComputeBackend

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Returns the display name for UI presentation.

Specified by:

getName in interface AlgorithmProvider

Specified by:

getName in interface AudioAlgorithmProvider<AudioBuffer>

Specified by:

getName in interface AudioBackend

Specified by:

getName in interface Backend

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Returns a description of the backend.

Specified by:

getDescription in interface AudioBackend

Specified by:

getDescription in interface Backend

Specified by:

getDescription in interface ComputeBackend

isAvailable

public boolean isAvailable()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Checks if this backend is currently available (libraries loaded, etc.).

Default implementation checks Backend.isExplicitlyDisabled() and returns false if it is.

Specified by:

isAvailable in interface AlgorithmProvider

Specified by:

isAvailable in interface AudioBackend

Specified by:

isAvailable in interface Backend

getPriority

public int getPriority()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Returns the priority for auto-selection (higher = preferred). Used when multiple backends are available.

Specified by:

getPriority in interface AlgorithmProvider

Specified by:

getPriority in interface AudioBackend

Specified by:

getPriority in interface Backend

getAlgorithmType

public String getAlgorithmType()

Description copied from interface: AlgorithmProvider

Returns the unique category of the algorithm.

Specified by:

getAlgorithmType in interface AlgorithmProvider

getAlgorithmType in interface AudioAlgorithmProvider<AudioBuffer>

createBackend

public Object createBackend()

Description copied from interface: Backend

Creates and returns the backend instance (or returns self if it is the backend).

Specified by:

createBackend in interface AudioBackend

Specified by:

createBackend in interface Backend

Specified by:

createBackend in interface ComputeBackend

Returns:

The backend implementation object

createContext

public ExecutionContext createContext()

Description copied from interface: ComputeBackend

Creates an execution context for running operations.

The context should be used within a try-with-resources block to ensure proper cleanup of resources.
