[ Typhoon Mike [1] Typhoon,

an open source chess engine by Scott Gasch, as successor of Monsoon also written in C and compliant to the Chess Engine Communication Protocol.

Parallel Search#

While running on a multi-processor machine, Typhoon uses a tree splitting algorithm somewhat similar to principal variation splitting to search in parallel with multiple threads. Splitting occurs after the first move has been searched at PV-nodes or if the first N moves at All-nodes [4] [5].
