Again, TCEC settings are ok. It's the engine's fault.

Technically it is Kranium's fault. He provided the binary. And I am more and more convinced that all this is intentional on Anton's side. Sorry, but too many circumstantial evidence. They simply don't care to have properly working Ivanhoe. And the reason is because they want both NN "engines" to be in division 3. It is pretty obvious that with fully functioning Ivanhoe, there is close to 0% chance for both NN's to go through. It's a scam, period.

Yesterday I was watching the game between Deus-X and Tucano and noticed that Tucano shows an incredibly low speed (around 1 mnps, sometimes even lower), so I suspect it was only using one core. Also the configured hash (1024 Mb) seems very low for a lazy-smp engine with these long thinking times. Maybe misconfiguration or is this normal behaviour for Tucano? I don't know.

I am too rooting for them to go through, but based on merit. That one of the favorites is handicapped by 200-300 Elo points is surely not the best set up of the competition in this division.

Ivanhoe is a very strong engine, it would normally be placed in a much higher division.

If Ivanhoe is indeed playing on single core, which certainly appears to be possible..
that would actually bring it down to a suitable level for Division 4

That does not make it okay. How do you expect Ivanhoe to get to the much higher division where you claim it belongs if you cripple it so it loses in Division 4?

And still no information about Tucanos extremely low nps...

So it shows the speed of the main thread only and the question remains whether it is running on 1 core or on 8 cores, configuring it to use 43 cores like they did in TCEC is wrong. The reported speed at TCEC is very low, that is probably due to the hardware it is running on, I believe the machine has 44 cores, but the clock-speed is probably not more than 2.2 GHz. or something like that, and it has ECC memory which also slows it down.

Also the configured hash (1024 Mb) seems very low for a lazy-smp engine with these long thinking times. Maybe misconfiguration or is this normal behaviour for Tucano? I don't know.

I just looked at the Tucano TCEC version and it does not support more than 1 GB hash, with regard to SMP it supports 8 threads max, with the command-line parameter -threads 8. On a single core I get ~2700 knps and when using 8 cores the reported speed remains the same but the CPU utilization goes to ~50% on my 6950X @ 3.8 GHz. So it shows the speed of the main thread only and the question remains whether it is running on 1 core or on 8 cores, configuring it to use 43 cores like they did in TCEC is wrong.

Ivanhoe hasn't played in TCEC in years
I couldn't care less if it advances...
with 2 days left to the start Anton was still short 2 entries...I simply tried to help him out with I consider to be a very interesting engine

Ivanhoe hasn't played in TCEC in years
I couldn't care less if it advances...
with 2 days left to the start Anton was still short 2 entries...I simply tried to help him out with I consider to be a very interesting engine

I agree and there is no reason to support it.

Based on wikipedia this engine is from 8.12.2011 and I do not know if people tested that it does not crash with 43 cores.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPPOLIT

based on search with 1 core it seems to be slightly weaker than rybka4

best players based on CCRL(with 4 cores):

1)Stockfish premier division
2)Komodo premier division
3)Houdini premier division
4)Fire permier division
5)Shredder does not participate
6)Fizbo division 1
7)Andscacs premier division
8)Laser division 1
9)Booot division 1
10)Fritz division 1
11)Chiron division 1
12)Ethereal division 3
13)Nirvana division 2
14)Gull division 2
15)Xiphos division 2
16)Equinox does not participate
17)Critter does not participate
18)Hannibal division 3
19)Bouquet does not participate
20)Rybka does not participate and of course Fritz is better by the same author
21)Texel division 2
22)Protector does not participate
23)Alfil does not participate
24)chessbrain division 2
25)BlackMamba doea nor participate
26)Arasan division 3
27)Senpai division 4
28)Strelka does not particpate
29)Vajolet division 2
30)Nemorino division 3
31)Naum does not participate
32)Pedone division 3

best candidate to particpate based on CCRL rating could be:
1)Shredder
2)Equinox
3)Critter
4)Bouquet

So it shows the speed of the main thread only and the question remains whether it is running on 1 core or on 8 cores, configuring it to use 43 cores like they did in TCEC is wrong. The reported speed at TCEC is very low, that is probably due to the hardware it is running on, I believe the machine has 44 cores, but the clock-speed is probably not more than 2.2 GHz. or something like that, and it has ECC memory which also slows it down.

2699v4 used in TCEC has 2.8GHz all cores frequency and when using 4 cores per CPU they are running at 3.4GHz, which is only 12% slower than your 6950X.
ECC memory doesn't slow down anything, no idea where you that impression?
