How Long to generate 5 men Tablebases

[beachknight]

Good news.

I am courious on which engines and GUIs are going to use B TBs.

Best,

Uh. Also curious on how to generate some important 6-man B TBs.

Best,

A question for Miguel:

Do you have new Tablebase generating code ready that creates compressed files?

If this is coming shortly, I'd prefer to wait to generate the bases.

In addition, If I generate the uncompressed files, how much will 7-zip be able to compress them.

Thanks

Do not worry, the compressor will work on the uncompress files you have. I will later modify the generator to make the compressed.

Someone mentioned that 7z compress them to ~4Gb (Gabor, I think).

Best,

Marco (Stockfish), and Aaron (Daydreamer) showed some interest. Otherwise, I will get an open source program and add them myself as an example.

Correction:
Was 69 hours to generate uncompressed files (38gb)

tbgen 5: Archivos generados: 145 / 41.301.475.840 bytes / 69 horas

[George Tsavdaris]

Congrats, I just finished as well and have the same stats.

Going to bzip2 -9 the files and upload to my site. Then once the official compressor is out I can convert them on the server.

And what about this tbtools-win32.zip that contains the tbcp thing in the downloads section of Gaviota? Isn't this the official compressor?
It says:
"Download Windows 32 bits, tbcheck 1.1 + tbcp v0.0.33b = Tools to check and compress tablebases "

I'm confused.

[George Tsavdaris]

A question for Miguel:

Do you have new Tablebase generating code ready that creates compressed files?

If this is coming shortly, I'd prefer to wait to generate the bases.

In addition, If I generate the uncompressed files, how much will 7-zip be able to compress them.

Thanks

Do not worry, the compressor will work on the uncompress files you have. I will later modify the generator to make the compressed.

Someone mentioned that 7z compress them to ~4Gb (Gabor, I think).

I'm confused.
We have a generated uncompressed EGTB file. We compress it with your compressor with some scheme e.g 4 the default.
We get a compressed tablebase file ready to use with engines, that recognize it. Right?

Right i guess, but then you say we can compress it further with Winzip or 7zip in our case? Yes i understand that we can but the compressed file will have a .7zip extension, so would it be accessible for the engines to use it?? I find it very bizarre if it's true.

Or you say to compress it with 7zip in order to make the whole set of 3,4,5 to fit inside a DVD for example? And then decompress it with 7zip to take the 6.5 GB 3,4,5 compressed set and so engines to be able to use it?

[IGarcia]

I think this is the reason.

Im even interested in and done some small test with only one 44 Mb file and there is no aparent compression..

I would like to fit the tablebases in a single DVD, just in case. If someone managed to do it please tell the compressor and settings. TY!!

Edit:
Still maybe does not worth all the time for compression (and decompression to restore) just for only save one DVD.
Also they fit in 8gb pendrives!
