See: http://www.chess.ibm.com/press/html/g.6.4.html

"DBjr. is based on a single-node RS/6000 workstation, and uses a total of 16
chess accelerator chips. DB jr. also runs in a non-parallelized (serial) mode,
meaning it does not divide the processing work up between processors; all of the
calculations are done on a single processor."
