Parallel Processing

I did carry out some initial investigations into how Taocould be parallelised whilst at the Australian Centre for the Arts and Technology during 1997-8 and came up with the idea of using Posix threads (pthreads) to split the number crunching performed by the synthesis engine up into separate threads. Unfortunately the work went no further than that but will be resumed one day if I have access to a multi-processor machine.
