Subject: Hash Table Standardization & Sharing Possible?

Author: Bob Durrett

If all chess engines utilize their hash tables in much the same way, might there
be some benefit in standardizing the tables and standardizing the way data is
stored in them?  Could a way be found to switch engines but keep the same hash
table and it's contents?

In software such as Chessbase 8, one may have dozens of engines and these
engines can readily be switched during analysis of a given position or game.  It
seems possibly convenient if the findings of one engine might be usable by the
next.  On the other hand, maybe it would complicate the pruning strategy?

Could this be done without getting into Matt's instability issue?
