Stockfish Build Your Own (BYO) by Brice Allenbrand

[Krgp]

The 106b DOES IT !! Brice IS AWESOME !!! (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4rubami2nvld ... Pzy8p7/BYO)

Downloaded latest MC src - "Speed up by almost 3%" - BYO106b - compiled it !!

I (BYO) also build it from 'Internal' ! Also downloaded latest RW builds from drop box and downloaded 'Abrok.ru' dev build of MC commit "Speed up by almost 3%"

Conducted Test 12 - and WOW ! The results - especially in r/o 'Abrok.ru' - speak for themselves !! Have a look ...

Impressive ! Isn't it !?

Now at least MC & Martin should 'use' BYO instead of 'abrock' - it's within TCEC rules - the same default dev (by BYO !! - instead of abrok ?!)

Also tried 'putting - MEM_HANDLER.cpp', 'sort.cpp', 'tbcore.cpp', 'tbprobe.cpp', 'tbcore.h', 'tbprobe.h', 'ffpcnt.h' - files in default MC src & launched BYO - in 'hope' that it would give 'latest' RW build ... but NO ... it doesn't ... it's not that easy ! It seems one has to / need to manually set/unset some switches in the compiler command line ... and perhaps more ... RW builds are not just copy-paste ... seems Brice has to do a lot to give us RW builds ... Only if BYO could do that ....!?

Wow! Now that was hot and worked like a charm on my system. Clever Clever for a portable. Now as to which of the three should I choose? I'll have to try them all!

Thanks!

UPDATE: I opened the 7zip and noticed the StockFishRW_BYO.txt that explains the three compiles.

I had other apps running in the background, will test again later.

Please 'copy' your newly created BYO versions in the Test12 folder ... and then test ! One can also put any other 'Stockfish' version in the folder and have it benchmarked too !

[shrapnel]

How to select which one is best ?
Is it a case of 'lower is better' as far as time taken is concerned or more the Mnps the better ?
Some of the results seem contradictory...am confused.
Clarification please.

Those nps numbers seem ridiculously high for a Stockfish variant (or anything else) running 4 threads.

Should be Knps?

So 01 above is 4637+/- 29 Knps, for example?
