Are they trying to >>accomplish what Deep Blue already has done? Hopefully yes, but we will also have gained a lot of experience in solving this kind of problem. What kind of problem? The problem of running applications that require prodigious amounts of computational resources on specialised hardware components. Essentially what you are doing is building a very affordably super-computer. We can supply clusters with or without the FPGA hardware enhancement. For uses other than chess? Surely. Currently there is a lot of interest for applications like fingerprint and DNA matching, where a lot of computing power is required. The technology is very close to what we are doing with Hydra – a relative inexpensive super-computer that is able to handle the task. Many thanks, Ali Nasir, for this interesting tour of your world for computer chess. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1866
