Hardware is very important if the evaluation of a program is very good. Of course putting gnuchess or crafty at 10000 processors doesn't make sense, apart from that making an algorithm that gives a positive speedup at 10000 processors is 1000x more difficult to make than a program at the level of gnuchess. Evaluation dominates. I see at least 3 programs which are setting the standards towards progress in evaluation: Brutus, Shredder, DIEP. Also indicative is Fritz. The latest fritz also has way more evaluation than the old versions, though it still is very little compared to the above 3, whereas we must see Shredder as a kind of middle solution between the other 2. Shredder is very well tested basically. >Thx. >Dr Wesler >blwesler@mail.retina.ar
