This weekend i did get a mesage about the way most programs are programed
and mistakes in it
I bought 2 years ago a Spintel card and they already made most programs run 40%
faster bij using new codes for most program's
Tis was only not yet possible in chessprogram's because the way the programs use
the branch prediction was not written in the way it should be (incorectnes)
The maker of this card also prommised me that he would contineu the development
so in the beginning of next year he would make an upgrade for the software of
the card so that all chessprogram's could run 40%faster with the same hardware
no mater wich hardware is used so that would be based on a 600Mhz computer as
fast as on a 840Mhz computer.
Maybe you could deepen yourself also to solve this problem.
