 Rack is a standalone DAW-like application and not a VST/AU plugin because of the major limitations of these formats.
 It is common to think of physical modular synthesizers as entire self-contained DAWs, so many people use Rack as a complete DAW to compose music and build patches without other software.

 The most important additions to this architecture are the [single instruction, multiple data (SIMD)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMD) extensions, which allow multiple values to be placed in a vector of registers and processed (summed, multiplied, etc) in a similar number of cycles as processing a single value.
 These extensions are necessary for battling the slowing down of increases in cycle speed (currently around 3GHz for desktop CPUs) due to reaching the size limits of transistors, so failure to exploit these features may cause your code to run with pre-2004 speed.
