Axiom does not use threads or multiple processors but this is
clearly the future direction of hardware. We need to find algorithms
that can be done in parallel and work up an example that gives linear
speedups based on the number of processors.
You need very good language support to make this practicable.
Also parallel algorithm tend to be significantly more complicated.
