"we changed the discussion"


As i hardly have time to check the forum,
changing the discussion is not very clever.

Finding a fast hashfunction using small tables IS however an interesting
topic in itself.

Multiplication is too slow simply.

It's interesting though to test for chess whether addition works
as a stand alone manner.

it would require a table
HashKey lookupPIECE[2][6]; // not speed optimized
HashKey lookupSQUARE[2][64];

Getting 'rid' of the side to move seems not so clever for now.

However in Diep i'm using 128 bits, so i could just flip the 2 random numbers as my hashkey has a .hi and a .lo each of 64 bits and i
can flip those.

And get away with it. Yet i realize in my MakeMove i have a generic makemove. So nowadays i didn't write it out for black and white, as a big problem for Diep is the L1i missrate of around a 1.34% going up to 1.6%
which is a lot.

The L1d really is a far smaller issue and at 0.6% from which 0.5% goes to the hashtable it's a non issue really as the max we can optimize for there is 0.1%. That's not an issue.

So the hashfunction i would not favour for now as reducing codesize is more important than table size.

In my experiments with a sieve, it turned out that when the random lookups are within L1d and the 'streaming' within the L2+L3 that things still is really fast.

Streaming for a primebase that keeps within L2+L3 really is not a problem there. Prefetching helps that.

that's here the case as well: codesize and time to execute the code is of crucial interest. So forget doing any multiplications.
