Running Ivanhoe Versions

Post by geots »

If you run an Ivanhoe version, take 46h for example. If you go to KLO's page and use any version with "9" at the beginning, ie 9.46h, you are running the weakest compile, generally speaking.

If you run PeterPan's version, it will be 46h, it will be stronger. If you see where PP has one reading B46h- that is the monster. Those have many more value changes- and trust me PP makes no mistakes. The 46h compile by him would mean he did not make as many changes. But always go for his.

PS: It is really nothing hard or difficult to get the correct one. The problem is people are trying to get a bunch of versions right now. Once caught up, you would just wait for the 45 version to come out- and you only have one compile to download. Hell, I could get it for you in 30 seconds.

Morning Maestro !

After my drama with Mr.Alfil I'm extremely prudent.
So , a single question: has this very good compile(s) of Mr.Izak an autodetect threads function ? I know it has the code , but I don't know if this function works ( was some discussions some time ago). Ivanhoe performs well on my PCs but in engine options I see always 4 CPUs /threads ( I can't remember just now).
Maybe here it's like in the blamed Deep Rybka situation - it displays the maximum possible number of CPUs/threads but has a good autodetect function .
Well, hoping for the CCRL expertise ! Thank you !

Best to you !

If you are running 1cpu you have nothing to worry about. Simply because that is what I am running. I could not change anything in the parameters anyway on most, because I cannot reach the bottom of parameters, even with removing the taskbar and changing resolution. I would have to assume it will recognize the number of cpus you are using, because I have seen no evidence it doesn't. But I will check with Izak and get you a definite answer. As for 1cpu, just run and enjoy any version. Please use PPs versions only. I will post my answer for you here.

Izak made compiles that have some of the engines parameters removed , these compiles have an "m" for minimal so use those and all the remaining box's can be seen including the "titanic " mode box which in unmodified versions needs to be checked for multicores

I understand that he did, 46h has the 46hm exe in the folder with it. But if you want to be helpful- I will give it a shot. What settings are at the bottom that my taskbar is hiding, so your answer would keep me from having to load 46hm to find out.

(He did not make an "m" possibility in nearly enough of the versions to make much difference to anyone who wanted one, however)

For instance, I am running all 46 and 47 versions. Did PP put the "cpu number" setting that can be changed in all these versions? Because if he did- it has to be hidden from me at the bottom. It is nowhere else.

Always I used only Peterpan compiles of Ivanhoe. Peterpan is a fine man and an old friend of mine - even If I was banned from "that" forum for this life and from the next some afterlifes ! :lol: Well , sometimes - at every born of a new Fritzy - my ghost still appears there for some moments - especially to see how acts Herr Maestro Franzy CBF with "the provocations" coming from a GmbH Hamburg ! Hoping he has minimum 25 Celsius degrees in his Habsburgic villa - for a good job this winter. :lol:

STASI salutations ! :lol:

off hand we aren't sure"exactly" what box's are removed but believe they are certain of the piece value box's , the person you attempt to insult earlier . ie Ellie or her flatmate Artina are the ones with far greater knowledge than us as they took over from Sibbi when she became ill and continued to test for Izak and Vlad0 as Sibbi and her sister Jesse the then Angels77 had done

the m idea is recent but he has made many of the previous beta code releases with smaller parameters since Angels77 and van h brought the problem of being unable to check the large pages box on several of his releases

the default cpu setting is a box named" Titanic mode " tick it if you want to use more than 1 cpu , its normally on the left and in the upper part of parameters , if there is no such box there should indeed be auto detect , but we are on our lap top so cannot check any engines for you

Not true. The titanic mode does not tell you how many cpus it will use, because the default is "4" and I am only using "1" The argument could be made that it recognizes if you are using 1 and adjusts for it. Bit if you are using 1cpu you do NOT have to change titanic mode to "1"


BTW, if Ellie is your friend you should have no trouble contacting him/her and telling her that 350 emails were enough. I do not need number 351. Azaad told me the next one to let him know and the ban on Immortal would be for life this time.
