Curious: how does one go about testing Komodo in MCTS mode say in comparision to regular Komodo?

I've always thought the main point for MCTS would be for analysis...say with 3 or 4 lines showing on 3 or 4 cores.

If you use each on say a 4 core machine, how do you set MCTS?

You can use Komodo MCTS like a "normal" engine.
The games for the rating list run on one core.

Well, Komodo MCTS on 'one core', set to display 1 PV....seems like it would be the same as regular Komodo. Sorry, I am probably completely missing something here.

Komodo and Komodo MCTS are two completely different engines.

Komodo MCTS:
Monte Carlo Tree search is different from traditional chess engine search techniques in that the search is guided by win probabilities instead of a traditional alpha-beta search and evaluation.

"Normal" Komodo:
Traditional alpha-beta search and evaluation.
