You might remember the last CCC match, where professional and amateur games met for a big contest. Crafty won. Crafty ran on an SMP system. Crafty is designed from stem to stern to run on multiple CPU's. All the recent "deep this" and "deep that" programs are recent conversions. There are going to be bugs associated with such efforts, and things left out. I strongly suspect that the strongest program + system is not entered in the contest. Be that as it may, your supposition about feelings may be correct. However, the feelings were misdirected. It is interesting, also that Vincent shows some sort of strange superlinear speedup. This might not be just some chance phenomenon. I would like to see what Diep can do on 8 CPU's. The SSDF testing is (of course) completely useless for the purposes of this contest [in deciding which programs are strong/weak/whatever]. All the tests were performed on a single CPU machine, and therefore have no bearing on multiple CPU performance.
