Go up one level in this thread


I'm still a bit woozy from the flu, but I think that if the four
processors/treads have a non uniform memory access pattern there might be a
speedup due to interleaving. For example if two processes are accessing hash
tables while the two others run a search entirely from the cashe. I have
experimented with a teoretically sound pruning method that might have this
property in paralell search especially nearer to the leaves. Sorry if this is
totally bad thinking, the thermometer reads 38.1 degrees Celsius.
