Protector 1.4.0: Jim Ablett's compile

Post by ernest »

jan. 20 update: http://homepages.tesco.net/henry.ablett/jims.html

I tested the 32-bit version (infinite analysis from the start_position, 1 thread):
the kN/s seem (only :) )2% faster than the "official" Raimund Heid's compile (build 434)

However, Jim Ablett's compile doesn't give the same result (nodes, pv) as Raimund Heid's compile!

Strange: is it due to different compile options, or did Jim compile something different from build/rev 234?

Hi Ernest,

which one you speak about it.

An user in CSS Forum wrote that two different version of Protector 1.4.0 JA are available.

He wrote:

Code: Select all

es gibt ein Update vom 20.01.2011 19:22 > protector-140-64-ja.exe  535.040 bytes

die Version von 20.01.2011 13:07 > protector-140-64-ja.exe  535.552 bytes
2 Versions (x64):
20.01.2011 19:22
20.01.2011 13:07

In SWCR Champions-League 2011 so far is playing version 20.01.2011 19:22!

Perhaps the reason for the different you are looking!

Have a nice weekend!

Raimund released his compiles of Protector 1.4.0 on the 13th January.
Jim released his compiles on the 20th January.
Ernest is comparing the two.

Hi Graham,

little correction:
Jim released two compiles on 20th January!

Perhaps in the second released by Jim the programmer changed a little bit and the latest compile by Jim isn't to compare with the original version of Raimund.

If that was the case, then surely Raimund's original compile would also have been changed. It wasn't, so I'm not sure what happened.

Hi Graham,

indeed, Jim released two compiles on 20th January!

main reason in the first release Protector x64 shows internal >Protector 1.4.0 x32 JA< in the Engine Pane.
Then it contains also minor fixes.

Hi Herbert,

the point that I was making is that Raimund's original compile from the 13th is still on his site, which would seem to suggest that it's okay.

Hi Frank,
If you carefully read what I wrote, you will see: I tested the 32-bit version

On Jim Ablett's download site, this version never changed... :D

Hi ernest,

yes it concerns only the 64bit version,

Nevertheless, there were 2 Versions on Jim's site.

You see it on the yellow UPDATE! flag right next to the picture :)

Hi Ernest,

please read what I wrote and what Herbert L have written.

I haven't both versions from Jim Ablett. I have the information from an user in CSS Forum. So, I cann't look in the second file. Can't see that only the x64 version is on to times on the same day updated.

I gave the information only, two versions from Jim Ablett from the same day are available. Again I have only one of the two.

I try to help you with your question.
Not more not less ...

Have a nice day Ernest.
Learn to think positive!
