Go up one level in this thread


Here are some quotes lifted off of the WCCC Paderborn site
and some questions.

Cilkchess is a parallel program which will be running on a
256-processor SGI Origin 2000 at NASA Ames for the WCCC.
In the late middle game, Cilkchess typically looks more than 15 ply (half-moves)
ahead and performs 5-11 million make-moves per second.
-What are "make-moves"? Is it the same as nodes per second?

When it runs on a parallel machine with 60 Pentium 300 MHz processors, P.ConNerS
reaches a rate of about 1.2 million nodes per second.

Zugzwang  now runs efficiently on various hardware platforms as
e.g. Power PC based parallel computers or the Cray T3E.
-What kind of nodes per second will Zugzwang reach on a Cray T3E?

Which of these three have the fastest hardware?
