<H2>Parallel Processing</H2>
I did carry out some initial investigations into how <B>Tao</B>could 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.
