Go up one level in this thread


Hi GCP,

it is not a secret that a program running on 8 CPU is not 8 times faster than a
program running on one cpu, even if the amount of nodes/s seems to look like
that.
But that does not mean, that - assuming a good parallelisation algorihm - every
processor is adding speed.

On hydra we know that the last two plys including q-search and eval is done by
hardware very fast. Thus even if there is only one CPU running it will at least
searching severals plys deeper without any parallelisation drawback than an
equivalent software program.

So I don´t know what bullshit you are talking about.

Greetings Volker
