More RAM would help, and most likely, your SSD is also pretty slow. Failing that, you can ask to probe less often (increase SyzygyProbeDepth).

That may be part of the confusion. Some commentators think it's run on a "university supercomputer".

That's just because people don't know what a supercomputer is.

Is NTNU interested in chess?

Nope.

I think you simply have to +ask+ the guys who matter if you have a project potentially worthy of sponsorship. Yeah, the problem is figuring out who the guys who matter is, and how to get their ear :-) And we are talking +sesse+ here, „the Norwegian super computer“ that has been mentioned again and ...

I hope I'd live long enough to see Olympics played electronically.

Bought it, with my own money. That is, of course, the main plan unless something unexpected should happen.

Is there any record of people ever having received sponsorship for computer chess?

FWIW: it looks like c++17 still gives problems but with c++11 and below you'll be fine. It has huge problems with C++11, too. E.g., the latest version finally understands lock_guard<T>, but still not unique_lock<T>, so it produces tons of false positives around locking. I really want to like Coveri...

A profiler might also be helpful. You could try OProfile for Linux (http://oprofile.sourceforge.net/news/).

oprofile? Is this 1999?
