If one ignores the many anticipated objections to doing this research, then what would it take? I can see the following process: (1) A list of blocks of code which could be "hardware-ized" is made and the list ordered in order of decreasing expected benefit. (2) Then, the powers that be would decide which blocks to do that to. (3) Then it would be done. Testing and tuning would follow. (4) Then a match would be set up with Kasparov. (5) Etceteras. By "hardware-izing" I mean creating a chip which could input it's input data, process that data, and output that data all within the time of a few clock cycles of a modern microprocessor chip. QUESTIONS: Which block of Crafty code would be chosen first? How much benefit to expect? Same questions for second block of code. Etceteras for the rest of the code until nothing is left. Bob D.
