strength of TSCP at 1.000.000 per second

[PK]

Any estimates?

I'm currently testing new weakening algorithm for Rodent, and this knowledge would help me enormously. Depths reported by TSCP at this speed are 6-7 plies in the middlegame.

TSCP gets about 1.1 million NPS on my machine while running the bench command..

If I throttle Stockfish down to 1200-1600 nps - they appear to be about equal in game 3 min /3 sec - slight advantage to SF perhaps.

in this game SF averaged about 600 NPS which was enough to win. I would say under 2000, over 1800 - give or take 100 ELO. ( CCRL 40/4 has it @ ~1700 , so maybe I'm too high - not sure)

in this game SF averaged about 600 NPS which was enough to win. I would say under 2000, over 1800 - give or take 100 ELO. ( CCRL 40/4 has it @ ~1700 , so maybe I'm too high - not sure)

Good, Michael. How do you throttle to such small values, about 0.05% of nominal speed? I can throttle with BES to 1% or so.

Good, Michael. How do you throttle to such small values, about 0.05% of nominal speed? I can throttle with BES to 1% or so.

I just use the limit nodes function and fill the rest of the time with sleep.
e.g.:
set limit nodes to 600
time = 15 seconds
total nodes (9000) = 15 seconds * limit nodes

For the sleep calc. I assumed 1M nps here - in the code I ball parked ball parked it at 750K nps in the code to take into account slower machines - not exact - didn't have to be exact for my purposes.
total nodes/ 1000000 = 9000/1000000
sleep = 15 seconds - .009 seconds - total nodes search and sleep will be very close machine to machine , but what will vary by machine is the amount of time used to calc x number of nodes

Exe's and source will be release later this week - targeting this Friday.

Hi,
on my laptop (T4500@2,3Ghz) I get:
TSCP 1.81 bench
Nodes: 550778
Best time: 1217 ms
Nodes per second: 452570 (Score: 1.861)
I ran TSCP against various chess programs with a resulting 1973 'ELO' performance after 24 games (my 'ELO' list is anchored to Fidelity Excellence 3Mhz=1780). Games: 15s/move (40/10min).
You should roughly get 60 'ELO' points more at 1M nps.
