Wouldn't doing chess engine work on the GPU:

1. heavily restrict the choice of computers that could run the code (or a particular compilation of it)

2. interfere with other processes that want to draw on the display (e.g. another window)

Sure, but it also opens research on how to scale beyond 160 CPUs or so. It is clear to many that traditional ab-search with iterative deepening, and attempting to parallelize that, got stuck and needs overhaul because of the synchronization bottlenecks. Applications for any resulting algorithms, if found, are not just for GPU, but also CPU clusters, correspondence play (searches with long time controls) and mapping the opening theory efficiently (which is essentially a search with an extremely long time control).
