[PD] parallel processing

[marius schebella]

hi,
I am reading an old interview with james moorer (with curtis roads in 
CMJ/6 1982). one funny thing is that he says, 'software synthesis is 
either dead or dying[...] I am hoping it's demise will be quick and 
relatively painless.'
in return he predicted all computation being done on special dsp chips. 
in part he was right, but on the other hand the main cpu got more than 
fast enough to survive (gfx is slightly different), but - and I am 
coming to my point - he also was thinking about hundreds or thousands of 
parallel processing elements. right now, we are going to have several 
and in the future many many parallel CPUs, and the need for parallel 
processing is back. miller was talking about that in montreal.
so I wonder how pd will survive that evolution? afaik the current 
situation is poor in this regard. can anyone give an outview for the 
future? would it be a jump from pd (I) 0.43 to pd II 0.1?
marius.
