....can be generalized so that all the promising branches must be searched before the rest of the branches at a node are searched. This generalization is applied to Feldmann s YBWC algorithm [15] Although there are many variants of YBWC, the only di erences are in 27 the implementation details [25, 53, 21]. The idea of YBWC originates from PV Split [28] which applies the above strategy only at PV nodes. YBWC can be seen as a generalized version of PV Split because the strategy of YBWC is applied to all nodes. YBWC has the following bene ts: First, the minimal game trees can be parallelized with ....
....which received the stolen work. Using a partitioned transposition table causes a communication latency in looking up the transposition entry for the node. Replicated tables also have extra communication overhead when broadcasting the result of searching the node. ABDADA is a variant of YBWC [53]. However, ABDADA does not use work stealing. Instead, ABDADA uses a shared transposition table to control the parallel search. All the processors start searching the root node simultaneously. Each transposition table entry has a eld for the number of processors entering a node, which is used to ....

....non evaluated children in the tree. Although both fffi and YBWC use the same decision method for allowing or denying parallelism, fffi uses a shared transposition table to keep the processors working on different parts of the tree, while YBWC uses master slave relationships. In a later paper (Weill, 1996), the combined method was called Alpha Beta Distribut e avec Droit d A inesse, or ABDADA. He showed that ABDADA yields greater speedups than YBWC on a CM 5 when studying chess trees. ABDADA also yields similar speedups to YBWC when studying fffi trees generated by an Othello program.
