Arasan 10.0

[jdart]

Multi-processor support can be set on the command line with the '-c' switch:

arasanx -c 2

will make it use two processors.

Re the Linux make issue: I think the "prof" file is missing from the package - I will fix that - but it is just a little script that runs a test suite. The contents are one line:

test ../tests/prof.epd 20

That doesn't work either.

./arasanx -H 64000 -c 2 < ../tests/prof.epd 20

The Linux tarball is updated now, so you can just download that.

"make profile-run" will execute if you have the "prof" file in the test subdirectory.

But as noted in the README, I have not been able to get PGO to work with gcc - not due to this problem but to an apparent compiler bug.

Hi Jon,
- setting it in the uci-engine variables inside a gui does not work
- is it while rc file is used even when using the engine as uci-eng

Did you realize that Arasan does not constant using full power running on 2 CPUs? Here the output from Windows Task manager shows cpu-peaks between 60 and 100 %. It goes always up and down.

I'll look into these issues but meanwhile the command line method should work.

This is normal - since occasionally one thread will be idle.
