Yes but it will only utilize 1CPU or core.

Re: Will single processor software run on mp?
This is not that new. But it just doesn't work for chess. Ken Kennedy at Rice worked on this type of problem for _years_. and they produced good results for some simple algorithms with huge computational requirements. I tried it on a version of Cray Blitz back in the middle 80's and it just fell apart, as the alpha/beta search doesn't have loops with no dependencies, making automated parallel conversion impossible with the tools of then (or today).Cardoso wrote:Take a look at here
