Only place I found that info was on chessbase site. Where is that info on Hydra's offical site? According to their site they recently updated to 32 cards, but according to chessbase site: http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2412 "Housed in a secure server room in Abu Dhabi, HYDRA is a 64-way cluster computer – 64 computers connected and operating as if they are a single machine. Each computer has an Intel Xeon 3.06 Ghz." "The cluster comprises 16 nodes of four computers, with each node boasting 32GB of memory. Each of the 64 processors in the cluster includes an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) card from XiLinx, which are significantly faster than Pentium or Athlon" Is that correct or a mistatement on chessbase site?
