Subject: Computer Ratings vs Number of Processors

Author: David H. McClain

Has anyone ever calculated approximate rating differences in points between
programs run on a single processor versus the same program run on multiple
processor computers?  It would be interesting to evaluate the Deep Junior
program played against Kasparov on a eight processor machine versus the same
single processor version program played on a single processor machine.  What
percentage would a program's strength increase by adding processors?  Is this
known?

Would evaluations be similar for other "deep" multiple processor built programs
versus their same version built for single threads?
