'''StarTech (*Tech)''',<br/>
a massive parallel chess program based on [[Hans Berliner|Hans Berliner’s]] serial program [[HiTech]], performing the [[Parallel Search|parallel]] [[Jamboree]] search algorithm. It ran on a 512-processor [[Connection Machine|Connection Machine CM-5]] supercomputer using a [[Shared Hash Table|global transposition table]] shared among the processors. Unlike Hitech, StarTech does not use the [[Null Move Pruning|null-move search]], and uses the same [[Extensions|search extensions]] in both the serial and the parallel implementations <ref>[[Bradley Kuszmaul|Bradley C. Kuszmaul]] ('''1995'''). ''The StarTech Massively Parallel Chess Program''. [[ICGA Journal#18_1|ICCA Journal, Vol. 18, No. 1]], [http://supertech.csail.mit.edu/papers/startech.pdf pdf]</ref>.

Incorporating the ACM 1993 winner, the serial program [[Titan|Socrates II]] by [[Don Dailey]] and [[Larry Kaufman]], StarTech emerged to [[Star Socrates|*Socrates]].
