Strange behavior when analyzing

Post by ernst »

Hi all, perhaps someone can reproduce the following behavior With latest Stockfish Development and Large Pages in Windows.

While analyzing the position below, I noticed that, after about 15 minutes, the nps drops signifcantly. At that same moment, CPU power consumption drops to half, but utilisation en clockspeed remains the same.

Anyone willing to give this a test?

The issue only happpens when Large Pages are being used.One can check tis with i.e. RAMmap.
