SF - Dragon match question

Post by Rebel »

I want to play a 100 game match (with the 50 gambit positions) between SF13 and the Dragon (the obvious leaders on the GRL) using 20 cores, TC=10m+10s (average 15-20 seconds per move) then what would be the ideal hash table size for such a setup, 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb? Never done this before. Match will run using my improved webmatch util (live broadcast eng-eng matches) currently in beta test at:

16Gb on one, 32Gb on another.

with 20 cores and 10s increment id go with 2-4GB, probably 4GB but im not very experienced in eng vs eng matches

It's 10 cores not 20, there is a big chance that running the engines with 20 threads on this hardware will only weaken them.

It's 2x10 cores, 20 cores, 40 threads :wink:

Then it is a dual processor system, this was not clear from the link you posted.

It says:

. Hardware : Intel Xeon E5 2680 v2
. Frequency : 2.8 - 3.6 Ghz
. Used cores : 20

Shouldn't it be:

. Hardware : 2 x Intel Xeon E5 2680 v2
. Frequency : 2.8 - 3.6 Ghz
. Used cores : 20
