Hi Ted, I agree. Wasp is 3028 on the latest CCRL list, I have it at 2845 on my Raspberry Pi 3b+. The wasp.uci code shows the top level at 2654 191 elo lower. So 1556 could be 1765, unless there’s an equation to work out the levels difference rather than deduct 191 throughout. Al. Here are the equat...

Hi Guenther, The syntax for UCI commands should be setoption name Hash value 512 and go movetime 15000. I ran Wasp 3.5 for 60s on the position after move 18. Bd3 with 512M Hash. Wasp switched from a5 after about 1.3 seconds. I don't know what happened in the game, but it could be whatever happened t...

Thanks Frank for hosting Wasp on your website and for testing the beta versions! Later today I will send Frank a Linux compile for older CPU's and also a RPi-3b compile. John While doing some tests with various opponents vs. LC0 with a dist. NN11258, I noticed an astonishing blunder in a Wasp game ...

Thanks Graham!

I sent Frank an update which includes a binary for Raspberry Pi 3b and 3 binaries for linux for different generation CPU's as explained in the updated release notes. There is no change to the Intel binaries. For AMD Ryzen as well as Intel Haswell and greater CPU's the "modern" binaries should be fas...

There are a few things which I could imagine makes Lazy SMP less effective in Winter. Eg There are no reductions at the root node and Winter does not use the history heuristic in any way at the moment, so the search is less stochastic. The scheme I ended up coming up with was to use the one describ...

I just recompiled McBrain 9.9 and McCain v2 and sent my Windows exe's to Michael.

[ That jump assumes that all engines have NUMA support. It is my understanding that only Stockfish, Houdini, Texel, and Ethereal have such support. I'm tempted to add Komodo into that too, based on some chats with Mark, but I don't know that first hand. The key to decent NUMA support is to have eac...
