Overcoming inter-processor 通讯 bottlenecks for parallel 运算 系统 has demanded a 基（础） reappraisal of the ways in which such engines are put together One solution which has stimulated 特殊 interest in the 领域（野外） of 计算机 音乐 since the late 1980s has been the 结构 of massively parallel 系统 from hundreds or even thousands of very simple microprocessors which are sometimes little more than 基础 逻辑 gates with the 对象 of developing models which have the capacity to emulate the 仿人体神经 networks that operate within the 人类 脑 Such 系统 facilitate the 发展 of 系统 which 探索 方面 of 人工 智能 of 特殊 值 in the 发展 of more intuitive 接口（界面） for composer-machine communications as well as 强大 and versatile 运算 engines for the 合成 and 处理 of 作曲 材料 A notable 例如 of such a massively parallel resource which has been used for 音乐 应用（应用程序） is the 联系 机 built at MIT in 1987-8 源 - Peter Manning 1993 电子 and 计算机 音乐 Second Edition 牛津 University Press
