Ok since you guys are so secretive :) , I have started working on an MPI script myself. Looks easy with only 6 or so commands often used commands.

Thanks
Not ZCT anymore. That's why I'm so secretive. :)

The tests are using self-play right now, but I occasionally use other opponents. The tester is all in UCI too.

The only reason I am "secretive" with the testing code is that I don't want to support it. :)

Oops,cluster is updated and now uses SGE with Rocks 5.1. All the nodes have dual-cores so i guess i can submit two matches per node with the
"-npernode 2" after requesting a certain number of processors.
