egbb_load_type 3 (in Scorpio.ini) means all 5 men are loaded into the RAM memory. 6 men Scorpio egbbs into the RAM memory ? I'm afraid that has not been implemented. Not even accessing them ....Maybe (will be) egbb_load_type 2 ....Only DS knows !

Code: Select all

EgbbProbe 4.3 by Daniel Shawul
egbb_cache 32672 X 8216 = 256.0 MB
509 egbbs loaded !
Is that number "509" ok? I downloaded all 5-men Scorpio bit-bases and they are checked ok by sha1. Yet, while I have 545 egbb .cmp files Scorpio only loads 509 of them?
I have such a request - can I write it correctly to install a 6 man Scorpio in a Scorpio engine. Thank you in advance for any help.

Since this has long since turned into tech support for one individual, maybe take it offline?
Fat Titz by Stockfish, the engine with the bodaciously big net. Remember: size matters. If you want to learn more about this engine just google for "Fat Titz".

The automatic installation of Scorpio generated a 180 position "egbb" folder for me (only the most important 5-men, I think):

6-men I only have installed for Syzygy bases. For Nalimov, Gaviota, Scorpio ...... only 5-men (I use rarely engines that access Scorpio egbbs). I honestly have no idea. Sorry, Krzysztof !

Thank you Sylwy. I have just like the user CMCanavessi.

That is why I am asking him for help with the databases of the program Scorpion.

Sylwy has this question here. The image below shows the use of 8 CPUs. Can you write where to change it in the program, I would like to use 16 threads.

In the Windows-folder (in the bin-folder (in the Scorpio-folder)), you find the textfile scorpio.ini.
In there you find this (set affinity to 0 and mt to the number of Threads, Scorpio should use (I am testing singlethreaded, so I set it to 1))

#############################################################################
# Parallel search setup
# mt - number of threads to launch
# affinity - number of cores to use ( 0 = all )
# smp_depth - split depth for smp
# cluster_depth - split depth for cluster search
#############################################################################
affinity 0
mt 1

Thank you for your answer. So if I would like to use 16 threads of my processor - the entry should look like this:

affinity 0
mt 16

I think so, yes.
