The secret of Houdini

[hgm]

Yes there is nothing wrong here only that Ilari Pihlajisto has a 7000kb/nodes difference with the set to below normal and Sedat make engine tests with Ponder OFF and set to below normal for Houdini to declare Houdini winner in all the tests.Except all these there is nothing wrong at all

How much difference do you have with the set below normal, then?

[elpapa]

They are competing for CPU time and with a simple setting "above normal"to Ivanhoe engine you have a 7000 kbnodes difference?

Like I said the system got very sluggish and the numbers went up and down during the run, but this is what was finally reported when I stopped the analysis.

Do you understand that something is going wrong here?If you don't iam sorry,i can't help you my friend

I don't need your help with anything, I'm just trying to show you that Houdini has the same system priority as any other engine. But maybe you're right, maybe it's Pacman eating the other engines' ghosts, I mean it sounds reasonable enough.

Τhe question that you have to do is why Sedat chose to change the priorities settings?If you take an answer to this question,then ask me anything.Thanks

What Sedat does is what many people do. There's no conspiracy.

You failed to read my explanation on this?

Come on Graham.You mean that you are starting run a test and suddenly you are going to task manager and change priorities for the app running on CPU?What for?Or you know why you do it?

Actually the GUI should do this by default. WinBoard, for instance, is distrinuted with the setting -niceEngines 10, which on Windows should bump them to the 'below normal' priority class.

Priority settings are part of the engine parameter options when you set them up in any GUI.
Some run all engines at below normal priority, others run them all at normal priority. Consistency is what matters.

Sorry guys i read accidentally "above normal" No.below normal is logical for engines to function in this way.My problem is the "above normal"situation.Sedat is right.He checked on task manager the "below normal" situation.I thought Sedat manually changed the priorities to "above normal".Sorry its my fault.Only to Carlsson i disagree that the above normal situation seems logical with a 7000kn difference

Maybe Osipov Jury should get Dimitri Yasenko for copy right infringement on his user name --> Strelkaman

Makes as much sense has his argument.
