The Great 40/120 Tournament returns

[krazyken]

Well, with helping someone with the CCT and several engines updated, I got a bit waylaid. Cyrano is new to the Mac, and has finished quite strongly, just a little ahead of the Baron and Colossus, grabbing a half-point from Glaurung. Diablo finished middle of the pack, but not before getting a half point from Rybka, leaving nobody with a perfect score now.

10 engines complete, 1330 games (+ 348 extra games from older versions) means I am over 25% complete! Any bets on the final top 5? (not a safe bet as I may still throw in some engine updates.)

Any bets on the final top 5? (not a safe bet as I may still throw in some engine updates.)

It's hard to go past the big names, but I'm not sure whether or not you're testing all the latest versions?

Cheers, Graham.

Those that I'm testing are on the list. As far as I know as of right now they are all up to date, except Amundsen. At this point, I'm not going to be adding new engines and I believe all the ones remaining are stable enough they won't be removed, but updates of ones already in there may happen until I hit 50%. The next 3 engines Eden, El Turco and EXchess will probably go relatively quickly.

Okay - my top five are Rybka, Thinker, Grapefruit, Shredder and Toga.

I forgot to mention the Tournament settings:
It'll probably take forever to finish.

Running under Xboard
Polyglot, wine and microwine used where appropriate.
Own books.
Learning on.
Ponder Off
2xQ6600 2.8Ghz up to 8 threads allowed for engines.
64bit where available.
40 moves in 120 minutes

[Marc Lacrosse]

2xQ6600 2.8Ghz up to 8 threads allowed for engines.

Eight threads on a Q6600 ???
Or you have a system for clustering your two boxes ?

Strange.

[schlucke]

I think he is on a Mac: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Pro#Specifications

Not the cheapest way to play chess on a 8 core box, but an elegant one

[krazyken]

Yeah I keep all 8 cores in one box! And I guess I'm wrong, it's not a Q6600 but Xeon 5400. So hard to tell all these processors apart...

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

Yeah I keep all 8 cores in one box! And I guess I'm wrong, it's not a Q6600 but Xeon 5400. So hard to tell all these processors apart...

It must be Xeon,the Q6600 is not an option at all in this case ....

[krazyken]

I do know that it is nice to be able to run up to 8 games simultaneously.
