Crafty 24.0

[velmarin]

Mr. Robert, it does exactly, pause(),
I had to remove it so that I compile with Intel.

Moreover if other users make few CPUs, 4,8,16, is indistinct.
Thanks.

I've just uploaded new compiles for you to try, and I've tested them on my older Phenom II x4 system. They work there, so I don't see why they shouldn't work on yours.

I have two Phenom II X6 machines, one with W7 and the other with W8.1, and no the new compiles don't work either, assuming the new compiles are the ones I actually got. Still just two exex in the zip file ?

The error is:

Please verify that both the operating system and the processor support Intel(R) X87, CMOV, MMX, FXSAVE, SSE, SSE2 and SSE3 instructions.

Doesn't matter, apart from maybe running it on HG's ICS from time to time, it isn't important.

With Crafty 23.8 I had no problems at all. Are you using different compiler, or different compiler options ?

Crafty has changed a LOT. Particularly with all the old spaghetti-code for various O/S/hardware-configs pretty much gone (it now works for unix or windows, period, although "unix" includes linux, solaris, mac os x and such). The message certainly makes it sound like Peter's executable includes instructions your CPU doesn't recognize...

I am not sure what you mean by "pause()" and "4, 8, 16 is indistinct"??

It is odd, because I'm sure it does support all those. I'm not convinced that the download includes the updated compiles. Peter can advise.

His first compiles run fine on my Intel Sandybridge laptop though.

Thanks for the new Crafty. Is Nalimov EGTB still supported? For some reason v24.0 is not showing any TB usage, even if I use the crafty.rc file that works fine with v23.6. (this is with the Win64 SSE4.2 compile)

Update: seems my path is not going through:

RC file:

mt=2
hash=1024M
hashp=128M
egtb
tbpath=C:\TB\Hyatt
#,C:\33,C:\42,G:\33pawns,G:\42pawns
cache=1024M
ponder=off
smpnice=1
log=off
computer
swindle=on
exit

Log File from Arena:

2014-05-28 16:29:02.746<--1:using tbpath=./TB

Depends on how it is compiled. It would normally use EGTBs just fine unless it is compiled with -DNOEGTB, which I doubt peter would do. You can always check a couple of things.

1. You need something in the crafty.rc/.craftyrc file to tell it to use EGTBs. Either the path or cache or else just the "egtb" command which will wake it up and get things going.

2. You can start crafty in a command prompt window and see if it reports the usual:

White(1): egtb
EGTB access enabled
using tbpath=./TB
5 piece tablebase files found
14010kb of RAM used for TB indices and decompression tables

(I just typed egtb in Crafty to get the above, if you put it in your crafty.rc file it will be seen right at the top of the output...

Problem solved, Crafty was using the rc file in the local exe run directory, not the one I had told Arena to use in the engine settings.

I will send a link in a PM to you for a build I'm testing at the moment. I suspect you have a revision of the Phenom that _doesn't_ support SSE3 and above.

Not according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AM ... _II_series

All models support: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE4a, ABM, Enhanced 3DNow!, NX bit, AMD64, Cool'n'Quiet, AMD-V, Turbo Core (AMD equivalent of Intel Turbo Boost)

Note that the popcnt instruction is included under ABM, so that's not the issue either.
