I had the impression that a software package's design makes a huge difference in how well that software will utilize a given hardware package. In the past, you talked about the advantage of portability. The "ideal" chess engine would run optimally on "anything." It seems to me that evaluation of the suitability, of a particular hardware configuration, for chess purposes must be measured using several or many different chess software packages. How do you know, for sure, that your program will run properly on the hardware you're discussing? How do you separate out the evaluation of the hardware from the software? Doesn't performance depend on both? If you get poor performance, how do you isolate the problem to the hardware? Bob D.
