Dark Thought showed up on a single processor Alpha workstation.  Junior showed
up on a four-processor Xeon server the size of a small refrigerator.  CilkChess
had something big, I don't know what.  There were at least four 4x
multiprocessor Xeon systems (mine included), and a few massively parallel
things.
