Hi Mark,
Please report some technical information :
- computer architecture and CPU model and speed
- speed of some engines (especially Stockfish), in the starting position for 3 minutes with 4 best moves, depth and lines.

[Mark Tang]

CPU model: Intel i9-14900KS‌
It can let stockfish search into depth 50 in 10 seconds.
Of course, the games are not run with all 2000 CPUs, just 512, the engine settings are similar with TCEC.
Our team try a new algothrim on our experimental engine Aether different from normal NNUE or NN engines, which needs to be run on such hardware condition. From the game results, we are glad to see it already has a top 10 engine strength and we will update the lastest version into semifinal.
