A brief description is available from the [[ACM 1980]] tournament booklet <ref>[http://www.computerhistory.org/chess/full_record.php?iid=doc-431614f6cdeeb The Eleventh ACM's North American Computer Chess Championship], [http://archive.computerhistory.org/projects/chess/related_materials/text/3-1%20and%203-2%20and%203-3.1980_11th_ACM_NACCC/The_Eleventh_ACMs_North_American_Computer_Chess_Championship.1980.062303015.sm.pdf pdf] from [[The Computer History Museum]]</ref> :
[[Cray-1]], United Computing, Kansas City (512k; 64 bits; 80,000,000 inst/sec)
Cube 2.0 is an updated version of Cube 1.1. It executes on either the Cray-1 or on an Honeywell 60/80 provided by Honeywell in Minneapolis. The program is written in [[Fortran]], uses [[Alpha-Beta|alpha-beta]] algorithm and [[Iterative Deepening|iterative deepening]]. On the Cray-1, the Lanks say the program examines 4,000 [[Nodes per second|nodes per second]]. This is its first ACM tournament.
