NEURAL-DRIFT: Buffer Allocation Starvation in Neural Audio Latent Synthesizer
Lead Investigator: Dr. Miriam Al-Haddad
INCIDENT NARRATIVE
During a public installation run of the neural latent resynthesizer (PROT-026), dynamic tensor allocations in the real-time C++ inference loop gradually fragmented system memory. After 41 hours of continuous generative audio output, the operating system kernel began dropping audio buffer callbacks, generating loud digital glitch bursts at 0 dBFS.
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS
Dynamic memory reallocation inside real-time audio threads instead of fixed pre-allocated circular ring buffers.
CONTAINMENT PROTOCOL
Refactored DSP audio engine to guarantee zero-allocation execution during real-time processing threads.
