Parallel Alpha-Beta

Post by Stefanov »

Hi to all.
Currently I'm implementing simple chess program in order to check in practice my chess programming knowledge. It has almost all common techincs using alpha-beta search algorithm. With simple eval (like LazyEval) and good move ordering it plays good enough to beat me in most of games.
Now I would like to implemet parallel search eventualy with YBWC. I read some e-books about parallism but I couldn't collect enough information to understand in-depth common principles in order to implement parallel algorithm.
I'm a senior software developer in C++ and I have no problem about programming details.
Could you please help me with some good books about parallel algorithms (YBWC is prefferable).

Thanks

The papers about Jamboree search will also help in understanding YBWC.
