Pushed NNUE support to a branch. You can load in a file. Stockfish weights are preferred.
If anyone tests this for a rating list, it should be called "Ethereal 12.75 SF-NNUE".
That branch actually works, unlike the Etherlito crap which broke due to memory alignments on POSIX.
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Re: Final Release of Ethereal, V12.75
As long as it is GPLv3, there is no question whatsoever. Dozens if not hundreds of people have copyrights in SF. This is the whole point I am making, there is no closed team of developers. If some code of you is in Stockfish, you can ask that your name be added to the AUTHORS list. The whole point of the Stockfish project is that everybody can join in.Albert Silver wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 5:09 pm In fact, the actual NNUE codebase in SF that was added is of complex status concerning the GPL. I speak specifically of the learning/training code. Sure, it is licensed under GPL, and I am not arguing that, but who's GPL license is the real question.
First of all, what is the problem exactly?There is a reason the code is full of internal comments that bear no resemblance to chess, and these are not just because of a translation gone bad.
Second, can you give an example? I don't quite recognise what you are saying.

Re: Final Release of Ethereal, V12.75
Alright, I've watched like 4 people now compile things wrong. Here are compiles for Intel and AMD.
If you have a modern Intel box, the PEXT compiles will beat the POPCNT compiles.
If you have a machine which supports them: AVX2 >>> SSE4.1 >>>>>>>>>>> SSSE3. This makes a massive difference.
To give you an idea of the difference: Ethereal beats SF 12 (if SF 12 does not use an NNUE) when using the AVX2 compile on my machine. That is not true for the SSE4.1 compile. It is very untrue for the SSSE3 compile.
If you downloaded a compile from someone else, or even made your own, please delete your binary and download one of mine, or pull down the fix I just made and again use "make", "make popcnt", or "make pext". This is my fault for not adding the optimized Instruction Sets to anything other than the "for my own PC" targets.
If you have a BMI2 / PEXT supported (Intel) Machine:
Best download is Ethereal-x64-pext-avx2.exe
Next best download is Ethereal-x64-pext-sse41.exe
Worst possible download is Ethereal-x64-pext-ssse3.exe
If you have an AMD Machine, or an non BMI2/PEXT Intel Machine:
Best download is Ethereal-x64-popcnt-avx2.exe
Next best download is Ethereal-x64-popcnt-sse41.exe
Worst possible download is Ethereal-x64-popcnt-ssse3.exe
In that google drive is an NNUE Weights File. It is one used by Stockfish. It is the official Network for "Ethereal 12.75 SF-NNUE". ANYONE WHO USES ETHEREAL AND POSTS ITS RESULTS USING THIS NNUE FILE, PLEASE NAME IT AS "Ethereal 12.75 SF-NNUE"

Re: Final Release of Ethereal, V12.75
Well, I guess we again have a very different understanding.Albert Silver wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 5:09 pmApparently what I wrote, which was also not complex, is not understood at all since literally nothing what you wrote above corresponds to what I stated in any way or form. And yes, you are mistaken about the Shogi NNUE engine. There are many engines in Shogi, almost all of which have NNUE support (all that I know of, but maybe not all), and they are not a list of 'SF clones'. They borrowed ideas, not copy-and-pasted code.

This is straight out of Stockfish, which is fine.

Thanks Andrew. Cleary the top individual chess programmer over the last 6 years. You will be missed. God Bless.

I think I can compile an even worse (nps-wise) one, but running on my hardware ;-)AndrewGrant wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 11:27 pm ...

Re: Final Release of Ethereal, V12.75
Would you be interested in adding Stockfish 12 Classical to your list? I'm interested in that Ethereal without NNUE actually beats out Komodo and Houdini. Maybe an indicator that Ethereal's evaluation is very solid? I would not be surprised if it beats Komodo's. They've got more knowledge, but I'm confident mine is tuned better.Rebel wrote: ↑Sun Oct 11, 2020 12:31 am Ethereal 12.75 SF-NNUE +172
