Supercomputer slays U.K.'s top chess player
Tom Espiner writes in C|Net News:
U.K. chess grandmaster Michael Adams has been soundly beaten in his titanic struggle against Hydra, a supercomputer.
Adams, the U.K.'s top chess player, lost five out of six games, and only managed a single draw at London's Wembley Centre.
The battle, which ended this week, had been hyped as a clash between human and machine, yet during the games Hydra only used 32 out of the 64 PCs in its cluster. Based in Abu Dhabi, Hydra's PCs are each powered by a 3.06GHz Intel Xeon processor.
