Senpai 1.0 (new engine)

[sicilianquake87]

...
I have been working on a new GPL engine: Senpai.

Where this name come from ?

Japanese?

[PK]

IIRC senpai = student, sensei = teacher, master.

Very Thanks, Fabien.

Compiled by Intel Compiler.

Senpai has a known issue on Windows. The hash table appears to be 50% full at most. We have been unable to reproduce this problem on either OS X or Linux, using either GCC or Clang. So there is a possibility (though by no means certain or even probable) that it is a compatibility problem with MinGW. We haven't found any Windows programmer with Visual Studio or the Intel compiler, maybe this would fix it?

In mangas is used to describe an older fellow/equal.

senpai = mentor or senior

To compile on and for Linux I had to add -pthread (or it aborts with "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'"):

Code: Select all

g++ -pthread -std=c++11 -O3 -finline-functions -funroll-all-loops -fno-rtti -msse4.2 -o senpai_10 senpai_10.cpp

Doesn't work for me. It compiles w/o errors, but segfaults:

Code: Select all

$ g++ -pthread -std=c++11 -O3 -fno-rtti -msse4.2 -o senpai_10
$ ./senpai_10 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I'm using gcc 4.8.1 on Ubuntu 13.10. All very recent stuff.

Is the binary in the distribution working?

It works for me with
g++-4.8 -static-libstdc++ -std=c++11 -fno-rtti -pthread -O3 -funroll-loops -fstrict-aliasing -march=native -mpopcnt senpai_10.cpp -o senpai

Lucas said in a T&M subforum post that the distributed binary works for him.

By the way, Ronald's method works for me. I am using gcc 4.8.1 and Linux Mint 15 (Ubuntu 13.04).

The segfault and the likes are problems related to c++11 and not having the proper libraries present or linked. I had worse issues with Texel until I modified Makefile including -static-libstdc++ because -static does not work for g++. That is really frustrating if you do not know that little "detail". BTW, the one in the distribution is pgo compiled, so it is faster than the plain compile I suggested above. So, if the one in the distributino works, that line I suggest must work since it is how it was obtained.

Hi Mark!

I don't smoke, but I do computer chess.
I tried to quit but ... it's not easy.
Say NO to computer chess ;)

I hope this won't awake my dormant virus again.
At least I thought I am semi-immune meanwhile??
WTF... welcome back Fabien!
