Lc0 28.0 + 610k vs Stockfish 14 (various threads)

Post by MMarco »

Out of curioty, I ran Lc0 28.0 with a recent mainrun net (id. 610000, 384x30) against threaded versions of Stockfish 14 (1 thread, 4 threads, 8 threads). Here are the specs used.

Time control: 100s +1s
Hardware: 3070 and 10700 (all threads locked at 4.0 Ghz)
Openings: TCEC Superfinals 16 to 20 (250 positions)
Lc0 28.0: --backend-opts=multi_stream=true, --nncache=10000000 --minibatch-size=80
Syzygy: 3-4-5 mens
Adjudication: win if both engine score +500 cp for 5 moves consecutively, draw when both engines scores no greater than 5 cp for 5 moves consecutively.
Benchmark: 10s from the start position (bmi2 for SF, cuda-fp16 for Lc0)
Lc0 28.0 + 610k = 18 200 nps
SF14 (1T) = 1 400 000 nps
SF14 (4T) = 5 600 000 nps
SF14 (8T) = 10 100 000 nps

From 1 to 8 threads, Stockfish gained a bit more than 100 elo here. It seems than doubling the numbers of threads gives around +35 elo under these test conditions.
