Yes, but I still have to do some coding myself. On the SUN compilers,
auto-parallelization can be performed. It could be interesting to see how this
would compare to explicit SMP code. I could compile a "single processor" version
of Crafty with -autopar on the SUN compiler, to see the difference. Obviously it
won't be as good as explicit SMP, but it might still give something. My own
chessengine isn't SMP yet, so this would be an easy way to take advantage of the
96 processesors in largest machine at my university. Unfortunately, -autopar
only works with their C and Fortran compilers, not the C++ compiler. Dang...
