Shawul,

Your messages are very impolite for someone who just takes a look in computerchess.

To me it seems that you and Srdja have not much understanding on what a vector processor is and that you have to do everything with just a few simple operations as anything else is slow on it.

Now Srdja, if i google for what he's doing in reality, he's excused. Seems browsing a tad on the internet is his core job.

Your ideas about storage are far away from reality.
YBW is an algorithm, it doesn't dictate your datastructure.

At vector processing you need creativity, away from the CPU datastructures, away from the cut'n pasting, to achieve what you want to achieve.

FYI the fast assembler engines from the 90s and before didn't store much either, nor did deep blue, nor did hydra.

It seems you don't have the IQ nor practice to achieve simplistic vectorprocessing in fact.

Sure it's a lot of work, but not even the move generator you manage to get going.

Vincent

p.s. Maybe google for Diepeveen + Wagstaff to enlarge your understanding that there are things beyond computerchess where GPU's are everything

p.s.2 for the non-beginners - the only problem to solve on GPU's is not the move generator, it's how to get an efficient SMP going. Efficient in SPEEDUP of course.

p.s.3 but most importantly you seem to fail to understand that at vectorprocessors you need to STREAM to get things done quickly
