Milos, maybe you remember the Rybka-Fruit-Drama, part of the accusations was that Vas copied the PST numbers by running Fruit with a few parameter weight changes. Not sure what your view was back then but I remember the outcry.Milos wrote: ↑Fri Aug 03, 2018 5:28 pmGPL never comes into play.

90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Well, whether something is a copy and whether something is copyrighted are really different discussions.
Re: TCEC season 13, 2 NN engines will be participating, Leela and Deus X
Well I really don't have time to search for my posts, but I remember clearly as it was yesterday that I spent like tens of posts trying to convince Bob that copying PST values is totally irrelevant coz PST values are just numbers that cannot be copyrighted. As usual Bob was totally deaf on all the arguments.Rebel wrote: ↑Sat Aug 04, 2018 11:46 amMilos, maybe you remember the Rybka-Fruit-Drama, part of the accusations was that Vas copied the PST numbers by running Fruit with a few parameter weight changes.

Machine code in a .exe file is also just a sequence of numbers...
Re: TCEC season 13, 2 NN engines will be participating, Leela and Deus X
It looks like Leela will win Div 4 and promote to Div 3... the real question is will she get to Div 2?

Re: TCEC season 13, 2 NN engines will be participating, Leela and Deus X
I would say probably yes. The new net is about 100 Elo points stronger than the one currently playing. It seems TCEC doesn't favor much NN engines on GPU. The GPU component is underpowered in TCEC machine compared to CPU.

Underpowered? What would be the necessary upgrade in your opinion, Kai?
Re: TCEC season 13, 2 NN engines will be participating, Leela and Deus X
The gpus are not underpowered. 2x 1080Ti give about 22 teraflops of 32bit float performance (theoretically). What might happen is that they get too hot due to insufficient cooling. In that case they start throttling down significantly.whereagles wrote: ↑Wed Aug 08, 2018 9:46 amUnderpowered? What would be the necessary upgrade in your opinion, Kai?

Re: TCEC season 13, 2 NN engines will be participating, Leela and Deus X
Funny you mention that. Some TCEC viewers reported slow downs in leela NPS count. I wonder (lack of) cooling might be responsible.
Re: TCEC season 13, 2 NN engines will be participating, Leela and Deus X
Price-wise and power consumption wice, they are underpowered compared to the CPUs used. I don't care about teraflops when comparing GPU to CPU in a competition.Error323 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 08, 2018 10:00 amThe gpus are not underpowered. 2x 1080Ti give about 22 teraflops of 32bit float performance (theoretically).
