cutechess cli storione timeout

Post by elcabesa »

Hi, someone know what is the timeout after set option command for uci engines? In last tcec vajolet is sometimes seen as "disconnected" by cutechess probably due to timeout. I think that cutechess send setoption hash and then isready but vajolet don't send readyok until it has initialized the 16 GB of hash, and sometimes it take a little too much time.

I have probably to speed it up. But to confirm my feeling do you know what is the isready timeout when setting options and if it's possible to configure a longer timeout?

Thank you all

I have removed the sending of readyok from my engine and cutechess-cli needs about 10 seconds to exit for stalled connection.

Haven't looked into the details, but maybe you can toy around with these parameters:
