Re: Banksia GUI released
Thank you Ted - liking this a lot more - now seriously, we really do need to increase the hash size to at least 256 GB for the Threadrippers.
The 4GB hash is just about filled in 20 seconds on my machine.

To set up hash size, you need to open Settings dialog (menu -> File -> Settings or for macOS menu->BanksiaGUI->Preferences), then select tab "Engine" as bellow image. There are two ways:
- Turn on "Overall options" and set Hash size to the size you need. That size will auto set for all engines
- Turn off "Overall options" and set options of each engine, double click to that option to set
That settings will be use for all non-tournament games, including analysing, local network, ICS, Lichess bots...

Re: Banksia GUI released
Oops, BSG has already that ability but I disabled accidentally it from the last version (cleaned up code)
Will fix for the next release. It worked look like the bellow image.

Re: Banksia GUI released
Thanks a lot for the idea. I have added to my TODO list. Still confused how useful it is since BSG probes very few for adjudication. Will check/verify data from some tournaments.Nordlandia wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 5:44 pmThe problems you list is not apparent in my case.phhnguyen wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 10:43 amI am still confused. As I have understood, you want two sets of Syzygy EGTBs, one for engines and one for BSG for adjudication, correct?Nordlandia wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 9:30 am Static adjudication is like this: once seven or less pieces remains, then auto determine result.
The syzygy adjudication need to be standalone compared to syzygy engine path.
Here is the catch -> if syzygy is stored on HDD then adjudication does not affect engine speed.
7-pieces can be stored on HDD without worrying about engine speed. Here just for adjudication.
If yes, I still see some big problems with using two Syzygy sets:
- It requires too much disk space (double size)
- Syzygy code may auto-catch a lot of data in memory. Double that may become a big trouble
- You may reduce a bit the affection of BSG on probing to engines. However, that is not serious since BSG hits the Syzygy maximum one per move, at the beginning before any involving engines have started searching. On the other hand, engines may hit Syzygy a lot when searching and may interfere or affect seriously other engines.
For simple adjudication (static if we choose to call it that) EGTBs can be perfectly stored on external HDD with USB interface. Let say if external HDD is connected with adjudication tables. It will wake up at 8-9 pieces if 7-piece syzygy is available.
Memory is not of issue if syzygy is set to accommodate the RAM available on your system. I.e. if total ram is 8 GB, 5-men syzygy is suffice.
Static adjudication mean HDD wake up near approaching the adjudication limit of the syzygy in use.

Re: Banksia GUI released
How do you get the clocks to show for online games, thanks.

Re: Banksia GUI released
Do you mean getting clock info?
Online servers always send redundant information when starting and after each move. For example, Lichess server sends a JSON string after a move as the following in which have info about time left, time increament for both white and black:
Code: Select all
{
"type": "gameState",
"moves": "e2e4 c7c5 f2f4 d7d6 g1f3 b8c6 f1c4 g8f6 d2d3 g7g6 e1g1 f8g7 b1c3",
"wtime": 7598040,
"btime": 8395220,
"winc": 10000,
"binc": 10000,
"status": "started"
}

Re: Banksia GUI released
Oh I see!
BSG displays the time left as usual, in its main clocks as the bellow image.
However, there is a bit tricky: if you select a non-time controller for your engine, say, set a fixed depth or a fixed node number, BSG won't show the time left since it thinks no-time involved. Otherwise, BSG will show time left as usual.
In the bellow image, Komodo is set to a fixed depth, games of its bot don't show time lefts. In contrast, Stockfish is set to auto - a normal timer, all its games display time lefts.
