I wasn't thinking GPU at all because the original post was not about a massively-parallel GPU search but was, instead, about the stockfish search.

GPUs have enough bottlenecks that I have simply not been that interested, other than in casually keeping up with what is being done. But they have a very defined target, and are being optimized toward that target, as opposed to true general-purpose computing.

Weren't your algorithm DTS originally meant for Cray, which is a vector processor ?? Just admit you are lazy or busy to do gpu computing.


Vector machine like the Cray has nothing to do with GPUs. The Cray was a true parallel SMP box with up to 32 CPUs with shared memory and a high bandwidth low latency memory.

No time for bullshit. Nobody said they are exactly the same. They certainly share a lot them being vector processors. You have an algorithm that depends on a certain fearture of hardware just like GPUs (i.e high bandwindth) so it is very appropriate to discuss the bandwidth aspect which is what we did.


Let's simply not "go there". The Cray and the GPU boxes have next to nothing in common. The GPUs have "no bandwidth" when compared to the Cray machines. The GPUs can not do things like 32 128 bit reads per clock cycle an things like that. Chess on a GPU and chess on a Cray really have nothing in common. Unless you want to try to claim that chess on a GPU is equivalent to chess on an N-core PC. The Cray was not SIMD...

Again nobody said it is SIMD. If it was it means you did a sort of GPU chess in the 70s, which you didn't. So enough with the strawmans.
My point is your algorithm as you stated many times in your paper is meant for a special hardware Cray. It is pure hypocracy to say GPUs are specialized while having your algorithm specialized for something else itself. AFAIK people make modifications on DTS to make it suitable for current hardware...
The GPU serves thousands of threads compared to 4 or 8 threads that CPUs have but the maximum theoretical bandwidth for GPUs is hundreds of GB / s.
