Houdini 6.01 released

[tpoppins]

Thank you, Robert! My Houdini's analysis output no longer suffers from the Stockfish-Singer Syndrom. ;)

Now, why would he do that ?

If he has cluster version of Houdini, it is purely for his own enjoyment

Because people - at least a few - would buy it....

Dual socket G34 boards and CPUs are dirt cheap these days. Given a supply of old HD/SSDs and power supplies (I got both) a person can piece together a running 24-core system for well under $200.
I do wonder: How would a 72 core cluster compare to a new Ryzen build that costs about as much?
"Lower IPC cores + cluster inefficiency vs. raw core count. FIGHT!!"

I'm assuming you also updated the standard version to 6.01. Can you check to see if the max threads are not more than 8. I'm just checking

The Standard engine in the Pro package has the same thread limit (128) as the Pro engine.

but even though "The Standard engine in the Pro package has only 4096 max hash size" ?

What I'm trying to say is "what's the point of having a thread limit (128) if you can't push the hash size over 4096 Mb?

thanks,

Read the Houdine Webpaage:

Amount of hash table memory used by Houdini, in MB.

Default 128, min 1, max 1024 (32-bit) or 4096 (64-bit Standard) or 131072 (64-bit Pro).

The value is rounded down to a power of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, 131072 MB).

64Bit is the best

I was talking about the Standard version (included in the Pro package)
