[gnugo-devel] Making GNU Go take advantage of multiple processors.

[Dmitry Denisenko]

Hi,

I'm a graduate student taking a course in parallel computer  
architecture and programming and I'm looking for a program to  
parallelize. I noticed that making GNU Go thread-safe is on your wish  
list. Have there been previous attempts at making it parallel? Are  
there any obvious reasons why it might be very hard (e.g. very large  
number of static variables in the program) or nobody just had time to  
do it?

Thank you,
Dmitry
