Computer chess provides a good testbed for understanding dynamic MIMD-style computations. To investigate the programming issues, we engineered a parallel chess program called *Socrates, which running on the NCSA’s 512 processor CM-5, tied for third in the 1994 ACM International Computer Chess Championship. *Socrates uses the Jamboree algorithm to search game trees in parallel and uses the Cilk ...

The presented coordination concept contained a detailed description of a coordination architecture, required components and their functionalities. This document combines the information from multiple sources as for example publications...
