Butcher (Rzeźnik in Polish [1] )
a Chess Engine Communication Protocol compliant chess program written by Marek Kołacz in C, released in September 2001 [2] . Executables are available for MS-DOS, Windows and Linux. Since version 1.60, Butcher is able to perform a parallel search under Windows using processes and a shared hash table. A master process spawns worker processes, which run independently without any supervision. The Master process prepares all the structures necessary to split the node and continues the search. Worker processes simply use existing "split nodes" to start their search and report the results. The master process is responsible to kill the workers upon exit [3] .
