Hi Vincent
We can't use a look up table for sq and piece since we are trying to avoid that. Rotation of a magic number was a substitute for that in this case. This will probably be not a good cryptographic hash but for zobrist might work since xor changes the hash key based on adjacent bits. The problem is that there are too many squares 1200 so we need a many majic numbers. But the rotation reduces tables size by 64 times. This is mentioned somewhere in this thread to reduce tables size, but can it be used to completely avoid it? I will see what can be used from RanRot for this purpose.
Thanks


Hi, just try it.

I'm rotating the sq random number by a small prime lookuped for piece and vice versa. Maybe you missed this detail.

And then we add up this after 2 rotations.

So effectively we're having a bitresult of a multiplication in a field.

HGM wanted to avoid 5MB lookup to generate his Zobrist key and this definitely does with such tiny lookup tables of just a few kilobyte Smile

HGM wanted to avoid lookup of a double array, not single array.

double array is [piece][sq]
this is however single lookups of just [piece] and [sq]
We CAN use looking up piece and sq in a table,
we just can't afford a table sized sq * piece, that's all Smile

Bottomline is that what i posted here is factors faster than the multiplication you proposed.

As the lookups probably can get prefetched what i posted is under 2 clocks and will keep just 3 execution units busy for 1 cycle Smile

So throughput latency is 1 cycle, not counting the prefetch of the L1.

What you posted is maybe 5 cycles throughput or so?
