GridGinkgo,
a
grid computing
cluster chess program by
Kai Himstedt incorporating
Ginkgo by
Frank Schneider as primary search engine, and
Crafty by
Robert Hyatt as proxy engine, which performs no tree search but has a role to control the optimistic
pondering [2] with distributed worker clients [3]. Supported by
Timo Haupt, GridGinkgo played the
WCCC 2016 in
Leiden on a cluster of 30
Intel and
AMD
x86-64 PCs with 224 processor cores, and came in fourth with 4/10 in that extraordinary strong field. At the
WCCC 2018 in
Stockholm, GridGinkgo became runner-up, losing the play-off versus
Komodo.
