7-men Syzygy attempt

[Dann Corbit]

Instead of 8 man files, I think the next logical project is the 7 man DTM with Ronald's new format.

Or 6-man DTM50, for that matter.

Actually, the next logical project is getting the probing code into Stockfish and Fathom.

Cfish can already do it, so it should not be a very big step to incorporate in other programs, since there is a working example.

Edit:
I guess they are already incorporated into Stockfish.
Here is the UCI setting for probes in the current code:
option name SyzygyProbeLimit type spin default 7 min 0 max 7

Ah, I see the official Stockfish has been patched now.

I guess the code is independent from my patch, since it doesn't take in the Robin Hood hashing nor overflow trick, and thus needs a four times as big hash table

You might submit your patch to the SF group effort.
It sounds like it would be very helpful.

Is it included in the Cfish version?

Contrary to previous versions of the bases which took on the names of their creators, de Man chose to call them Syzygy (pronounced Sih-Zih-Gee), which means a pair of connected or corresponding things.

Recall that RdM is a mathematician. A syzygy is in fact a specific (somewhat advanced) mathematical concept:

I hope that this effort will become very famous. It is really something incredible.

dunno about fame, but syzygy site will sure ramp up its visits

think he's retired.. but might still want to write a paper on the subject

I don't actually know how. I guess maybe I could send a pull request on GitHub?

Not that I know of.

So there we are… 60 TB disk ordered. (36 usable TB after RAID-6 and accounting for that 10^12 bytes is less than 2^40 bytes.)

What's the model number, I may get a set.

Seagate Enterprise Exos X10, 10 TB. Six of them.
