Subject: Parallel search question

Author: James Swafford

I'm sure most parallel searchers use algorithms that allow splitting
at arbitrary nodes in the tree.  I'm curious how good (or bad!)
it would be to simply spawn threads at the root to search an entire
move.

In other words, if I have 4 processors, then I would have 4 search
threads running, each searching a different root move.

 Yes, I know that's incredibly simplistic.  I'm just curious as to
how the naive approach compares to something more complex.

Thanks,
