Not being a programmer, I'm not sure how difficult this would be.

libdispatch
Wondering if anyone might be interested in modifying a multi-threaded engine (say, Crafty) to use libdispatch.

Re: libdispatch
As far as I understand, libdispatch provide an asynchronous multi-threaded library. In parallel search, most of the algorithms (YBWC, etc.) use synchronous multi-threading. So, I do not think the libdispatch library is compatible with parallel search as used in chess engines, except maybe for some peculiar tasks like event handling.zullil wrote:Wondering if anyone might be interested in modifying a multi-threaded engine (say, Crafty) to use libdispatch.
