Experts (such as you?) would know better than me. Hiarcs and others were spoken
of as knowledge programs, but it could be much more than Hiarcs, for sure.

Wherever the speed of a supercomputer is available, why choose a program which
specializes more in quick generation of search over one which specializes in
greater knowledge, as that, together with great speed would surely play greater
than simply speed added to speed. That's what I always thought!
(And I saw an article about Fritz being put into a supercomputer to play
Kramnik).
