Hi Stefan,

I have compiled some new JA builds of Gull II including SSE4.2 (popcount) enabled versions.

Hi Jim,

can you say how much faster the popcount-compile is (compared with the 64bit-compile from Gull-homepage, which I tested in the LS ratinglist)?!?

I found that the original is 1-3% faster.

I did the compiles for older machines primarily. On my Athlon64 the 64 bit GCC compile is way faster than the
official one. The popcount versions were untested. I still have no SSE4.2 Cpu. Here are the benchmarks > (from opening position)

Code: Select all

-------------------------------------------------------

JA          :      Gull II (32 bit) Intel       =     331/knps
JA          :      Gull II (32 bit) MSVC        =     368/knps      (Best on my Athlon-XP/m)
JA          :      Gull II (32 bit) Mingw       =     327/knps

Original    :      Gull II (32 bit) MSVC        =     342/knps



JA          :      Gull II (64 bit) Intel       =     634/knps  
JA          :      Gull II (64 bit) MSVC        =     610/knps
JA          :      Gull II (64 bit) Mingw       =     690/knps      (Best on my Athlon64)

Original    :      Gull II (64 bit) MSVC        =     610/knps    

-------------------------------------------------------
best,
Jim.

Thanx. At the moment my popcount-hardware does the PanChess 00.250-testrun. After finishing that, I will take a look on Gull 2 JA, but I doubt, if a new testrun is really necessary...
