A processor architecture containing multiple closely coupled processors in a form of symmetric multiprocessing system is provided. The special coupling mechanism allows it to speculatively execute multiple threads in parallel very efficiently. Generally, the operating system is responsible for scheduling various threads of execution among the available processors in a multiprocessor system. One problem with parallel multithreading is that the overhead involved in scheduling the threads for execution by the operating system is such that shorter segments of code cannot efficiently take advantage of parallel multithreading. Consequently, potential performance gains from parallel multithreading are not attainable. Additional circuitry is included in a form of symmetrical multiprocessing system which enables the scheduling and speculative execution of multiple threads on multiple processors without the involvement and inherent overhead of the operating system. Advantageously, parallel multithreaded execution is more efficient and performance may be improved.

The invention relates to a single-channel music singing separation method based on a deep relief network. The method comprises the steps that firstly, the deep relief network (DBN) is utilized for extracting high-rise abstract features facilitating accompany and singing separation, then the Back-Propagation neural network is utilized for separating accompany and singing features, and finally an overlap-add method is utilized for obtaining time-domain accompany and singing signals.

The method is easy and flexible to implement and has high practicability.

For changing a segmentation of an audio piece after a segment class assignment, at first a short segment is selected, which has a length shorter than a predetermined minimum length. This short segment is preferably merged with the corresponding successor segment or predecessor segment using information on a segment class membership of the short segment itself, but also the successor segment or the predecessor segment, in order to obtain a changed segmentation of the audio signal. With this, a not over-segmented segment representation of the audio signal is obtained, which further includes all audio information, i.e. is not a representation of the audio piece with holes.
