Zeta OpenCL Chess - Alpha Release 0960

[smatovic]

Heyho,

here my new OpenCL Chess approach:

https://github.com/smatovic/Zeta/tree/zeta_cl_0960

Same Version runs on AMD and NV,
needs settings in config.cfg,
currently only Linux 64 supported.

Changes:
- Randomized Best First Minimax Algorithm with Qsearch at Leaf Nodes
- fixes in Move Generator

Issues:
- plays weak
- no castle or en passant moves

Outlook:
Unrandomized child selector ala CNS or CCNS.

Have fun...

Interesting project.
Are you planning to release a Windows version any time soon?

Jim made an windows 64 bit compile but it crashed on his system,
i added the windows exe into the bin folder on github:

https://github.com/smatovic/Zeta

Be sure to place the config.cfg and zeta.cl files in the same folder like the .exe. Maybe you will need to edit the config.cfg file too.

opencl_platform_id: 2; // my GPU is AMD

I run zeta-cl-64-ja.exe I type go or test and it just output move a1a1 nothing more and this is the zeta_cl.debug content:

hm, strange, it should print some errors if it couldnt init the OpenCL device...

ah, before the go or test command you need to type "new" to set up the board!
