Hello Thomas,

I think what Vincent meant was that Junior played on a single core 4 processor
machine on the WCCC. Deep Junior, or it could not have used more than one
processor, but actually I have not read anywhere what kind of processor Amir and
Shay used, AMD or Intel?

If I understand correctly, scaling involves the NPS numbers,which is not the
same as plydepths/timeunit, the actual speed-up?

Kevin Burcham posted some interesting numbers for Deep Fritz above
http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?444985

If you convert that back to nodes per core per MHz that would roughly get the
Fritz scaling numbers.

Groeten,
Eelco
