Matt:

My daughter is graduating in Comp Sci from U of Illinois, and has a number of friends who are doing multi-core programming (though they tend to be more in the nVidia Tesla realm). They all claim that getting any sort of balanced use of cores from a program is a huge huge headache -- graphics scale well because you can break the problem up into hypercubes. But when you have real-time data streams as BiB must be dealing with continually, perhaps without the ability look ahead, it would be very difficult. Where I could see it benefiting BiB is in real time synthesis of complex models (I guess, from what I understand of it, what Realdrums/tracks is doing).
