I have short but general answer:
Chess engines used for sparing chess players from thinking about heavy chess problems and for making even weak chess players believe in they understand the chess game.

Because it is an exponential game.
They have new ideas and new hardware. Both improve exponentially over time.When I said programmers have no new ideas I did not thought about using more cores.
Excuse me, but i like to know for what you use this tremendous number of cores.Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 7:23 pm ...
I love the new hardware. Come January of this year, I will have cores coming out of my ears.
And I also plan to stuff the machine with 4 GPU cards. If you add up the threads from all the GPUs and CPUs, you can sew a tapestry from them.

If you would live in Alaska you could double the cores to toast.Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 7:50 pmThey keep my house toasty during the winter.corres wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 7:41 pmExcuse me, but i like to know for what you use this tremendous number of cores.Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 7:23 pm ...

The opposite.
When I tell people where the heating home comes from, they usually laugh, but I never knew what's laughable about killing two birds with one stone.
I like to daydream about the best hypothetical setup under some set dollar amount. For example, what is the best chess computer (or computer-cluster) to buy under $5000?Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 7:23 pm I love the new hardware.
