The head of this post obviously a stupid one.
Although your testing methods are unorthodox , they did help me identify a problem I had with SMP mode - which is now fixed.MikeB wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 10:31 pmWOW those are some results - care to provide the PGN file?awsmak wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 8:12 pmhere are the some benches i triedMikeB wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 3:46 pm Can you try this "exe" it was specifically compiled for AMD processors ...

I conducted a 10 rounds tournament at level '3 seconds per move' in arena with Bluefish-12-W-AMD.exe and stockfish_20090216_x64_avx2.exe both ran on 8 cores and 512 hash. bluefish lost 8 out of 10 games and 2 were draw.
How long did it take to run that match and what machine were you using ( how many cores) , and how many games were being run in concurrency?
Edit: Thanks - Seems I like I just broke something, Your short test and my short test confirms it.

No, it is not a problem of your cpu. Stockfish is not crashing on your cpu and the nps you are getting is normal. That's basically the end of the story. If something goes wrong in your matches, then that's because of how you are conducting the matches. It is also not unlikely that your expectations are just a bit off. Higher speed doesn't mean you won't be seeing mostly draws.awsmak wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 2:11 am Thank you everyone for replying and for your guidance. Most of you guys were saying that this post is irrelevant or I am doing this to get attention. I admit that I made a mistake. I should have made the title of this thread more specific. I am sure that there are so many users who use AMD cpu for chess analysis without any problem. I think its just the problem of my cpu.
Thank you. Is there any android application other than "chess for android" to automate this? And also create the pgn file of whole tournament?syzygy wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 2:57 amNo, it is not a problem of your cpu.

I agree you. But as I pointed out there may be lot of issue what can influence the general chess power of a PC.
You joined the forum on September 4 , less than two weeks ago- Welcome to the forum! There is really no reason to remove the topic. You meant no harm. My only advice is try to keep your initial setup simple. CuteChess GUI is a very good GUI for running engine matches and very simple to use.awsmak wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 10:06 am I am extremely sorry if someone got hurt by this topic. I never meant to criticize anyone. I am apologizing to Talkchess Community and anyone who got hurt by my words which I never wanted to. Sorry everyone. My problem is not solved but no problem. As some members pointed out, I maybe doing something wrong or it maybe just a problem to my machine due to some background application or something. I am happy that after resetting my pc atleast my machine is not loosing . I request the moderators of TC to remove this topic. Thank you everyone..

If you really want to see how matches chess are run - install fishtest on your machine - you will learn a lot. They use the cutechess cli ( client) which is headless, no GUI - which is probably the best way to run a chess match.
