Is Deep Blue source code open?

[mschribr]

While we are comparing IBM's deep blue hardware to today's hardware and deep blue chess performance to today's computer chess performance. It's also interesting to compare IBM 1997 to IBM 2017. In 1997, IBM earned 78.5 billion. In 2017, IBM earned 79.1 billion. In 20 years an increase of 0.8%. Not much. IBM is just treading water.

That's pretty ridiculous statement. Take GM's or Ford's revenue in 1997 and 2017 and you are also gonna notice they are trading water, right?
Basically no company outside pure software or retail had more than 100% revenue gain in the last 20 years.

What do you mean by a retail company? Is ibm a retail company?

IBM is ofc not the retail company as it is not selling consumer goods or services to customers. It is selling mainly enterprise services (and some enterprise products) to large business customers.
Maybe you should first google stuff before making strange claims.

There are companies that are not treading water from 1997 to 2017. Boeing went from 22 billion to 93 billion, 311%.
Here are more companies with their percentages.
Intel 201, Honeywell 190, Caterpillar 175, United Technologies 154, 3M 122 and Lockheed 89.
Actually, ibm is not treading water. 79 billion in 1997 would be worth 120 billion today. They lost about 51% in real dollars.

Deep Blue II

Third change
Development of a set of software tools to aid in debugging and match preparation, eg., evaluation tuning and visualization tools.

Hybrid software/hardware search

- The software search is extremely flexible, and can be changed as needed.
- The hardware search is parameterized, but the general form of the search is

3.2. Evaluation function
The features recognized in both the slow and fast evaluation functions have programmable weights, allowing their relative importance to be easily adjusted.

There are 54 registers and 8096 table entries for a total of 8150parameters that can be set in the Deep Blue evaluation function

8.1. Opening book
The opening book was created by hand. The openings were chosen to emphasize positions that Deep Blue played well
