Go up one level in this thread


People like SMP because it's so much easier to program for. The only time people
resort to asymmetrical MP is when shared memory is not viable due to the # of
processors involved. There are already a large number of message passing chess
programs, but with the uniprocessor speed we have today and common availability
of MP motherboards, why not write an SMP program?
