Deep blue mini Project for cse 260

DEEP BLUE

• Mini Project for CSE 260

• Deepa Veerappan

Introduction

• Most powerful chess playing computer.

• Unique combination of innovate software engineering and massive parallel processing power.

Architecture

• 32 node IBM RS/6000 SP system

• Uses 30 Power Two Super Chip processors (P2SC)

• Each node contains 1 micro channel card

• Each card contains 8 VLSI chess processors

• Total : 256 chess processors

Chess Processor

• Single chip chess search engine

• Move generation
• Evaluation
• Search

Deep Blue in Action

• Analyzes 200,000,000 positions per second (Kasparov evaluates 3 positions per second)

• Evaluates the current position

• Integrates chess information

• Chooses the optimum move

• Deep Blue beat Kasparov!!!

Current Iteration of RS/6000 SP

• Named ASCI White

• 512-node with 8192 processors

• 12.3 trillion calculations/second (teraflops)

• 1000 times more powerful than Deep Blue

Applications

• Molecular dynamics

• Financial modeling

• Data mining

• Weather Forecasting
