M1 Apple Silicon for Chess?

[acepoint_de]

Rubichess 2.2-DEV updated today is imported but doesn't start on BanksiaGui M1 and loses on time. Seer-2.0.1 doesn't start even on terminal (dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/10/libgomp.1.dylib)

Sorry to hear this. I'll try to reproduce the errors you mentioned at the weekend. Regarding Seer I have to take a look at my command history, I don't remember whether I modified a makefile or added certain flags.

After successfully compiling engines I usually only call the binary at the command line and check whether it is able to recognize uci commands. Unfortunately I don't have that much time for detailed tests at the moment.

Hi RubiChess & Acepoint,

Rubichess 2.2-DEV updated today is imported but doesn't start on BanksiaGui M1 and loses on time. Seer-2.0.1 doesn't start even on terminal (dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/10/libgomp.1.dylib)

I don't have a M1 so I cannot reproduce the error.
Can you start the RubiChess binary from a terminal and send the output or error messages?

Regards, Andreas

Don't worry. I must only thank you for your unique contribute to Silicon M1 for chess

Solved, it was searching for another NNUE, I have downloaded the new one from your repository and now it works.

Many thanks, AlexChess

Seer-2.0.1 doesn't start even on terminal (dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/10/libgomp.1.dylib)

This is one of the probably very few engines I had to build with gcc, so it's linked against this library. The quick and dirty workaround is that you install the gcc, then the engine should run on your system.

Code: Select all

brew install gcc

A professional and better solution should be building dmg-packages, but then users lose flexibility regarding the storage. Third option is building static versions.

34 BEST ENGINES - Arena chess SuperBlitz 34 3 mins + 3 secs

4 CPUs on Windows 10 ARM64 under Parallels Desktop 16.5 on Apple Silicon M1 (50% of the speed running on native macOS M1)

Finally, latest Cfish 210509 (that is Stockfish porting open source optimized C code, 30% faster than original) has got rid of "aliens"  (SF derivates that don't release their code, as GPL 3.0 imposes, like Raubfisch, Fischerov, Eman, Killfish, AI-15, Zeus 11 and Alpha SubZero and cannot be ported on Mac and Linux) ...Open sources are useful to improve all top engines on all OSs.  Dragon 2 by Komodo, Igel 3.0.5 Neon NNUE and Fat Fritz 2.1 (in Stockfish 13 210426) are new entries.

I am amazed that this thread now covers 43 pages!

The M1 is a STUNNING piece of technology: a good thread would be about running chess programs on SOCs, which are small, cheap, amazingly economical on power, and, at the top end, deliver kick-ass computing power - but there's no denying that the M1 is the absolute best SOC for the time being (except that you can't buy one on its own - you have to buy a complete Apple product ).

I trust that all the Apple M1 SOC users here are suitably attired: https://www.redbubble.com/i/socks/Apple ... 1529.9HZ1B
