Gian-Carlo,

sorry, but what is your point with such chaotical, none deterministic systems?
If i imagine the chaotical effects even with one processor after some minor
code/data changes and different processor architectures. If i imagine how
chaotical multiprocessor systems are, where memory and cache coherency are big
issues.

Did you exactly the same test with crafty on the same system as Bob?
Or did you mention your own experience with Deep Sjeng and claim in general with
multprosser systems smp or numa, speedup with nullmove is less than Bob's
suggested formula for 1 <= N <= 8:

Nullmove disabled:   1 + (N-1)*0.7
Nullmove enabled:    1 + (N-1)*0.6

Thanks,
Gerd
