Details of The triumph of Hydra

The English champion of chess Michael Adams has been sonorously defeated from the supercomputer Hydra: Adams has lost 5 left on 6 to the London' s Wembley Centre. And hYdra neanche its power has not used all, but only 32 of the 64 microprocessori of which it arranges, everyone on base Intel 2.06 Xeon to Gigahertz. According to the team that has developed Hydra, it is in a position to calculating 200 million movements to the second, and previewing some until 40. At a distance of approximately a decade from the historical defeat of the champion Gary Kasparov for work of Deep Blue of IBM, the technological advances they by now seem to leave very little hopes the human possibilities, at least to one chessboard.

Hydra is one of the most complex computer science creatures, a supercomputer of Abu Dhabi of which scacchistiche dowries without previous are narrated. Hydra, this the name of the computer, from has little caught up a new evolutionary stage: composed of an apparatus hardware and software, it has already played with some of the greatest champions than chess in the course of the last year, concluding its games often like vincitrice.

Today it is a machine to 32 processori that its authors, it finances to you from an Arabic group of Abu Dhabi, think can exceed at least five times the power of calculation sfoderata from Deep Blue, the machine exceeded in a match from campionissimo the Garry Kasparov, that but its version has then yielded the crews dinanzi to one more evoluta. Although Hydra today is considered the more powerful supercomputer in fact than chess (but can be employed also for calculations matemati to us, searches on the DNA and a lot other).
