Les Fernandez has compute resources

[dann corbit]

I don't know if it is of any value, but Les Fernandez has a vendor who will lend time on a big array of GPU cards for computation of EGTBs.

I have no idea how difficult it would be to port EBTB systems to GPU cards (for instance, they can't do recursion if I recall correctly) but it might be worth taking a look at for you EGTB programming experts.

See the CCC programming forum post by Les Fernandez:

If the vendor has also a big array of fast computers with lot of RAM and fast disk arrays, that might be interesting. (I'm not aware of any successful implementation of EGTB generator for GPU).

He also has some big Linux arrays of some kind also. Les' message spells out the details.

GPU cards might later on be useful for compressing the database. I imagine that might be limited by CPU rather than by memory bandwidth.
Generating endgame tables is still much more a software problem than a hardware problem.
