Rebel 15.1 problems

The original programs loaded from the web page behave exactly the same.

Are you saying that the provided SSE executables in the downloads don't run on your computer?

[chessica]

Exactly, that's how it is.

Exactly, that's how it is.

Then compiling makes no sense either. Your PC is not ready for Rebel.

This statement is too simple for me. What conditions must be met for it to work? What is so unique about the Rebel that it doesn't work?

your answer is stupid, please be more precise.

The main problem I think will be that the MSVC compiler will not compile anything below what it understands as SSE. It was already not possible for Ed to compile an older Rebel for Intel Penryn. I think a Penryn is about the same age and similar stage of SSE instruction set, but then AMD, what you specify here:

Hello, my CPU has the following Instructions sets: sse, sse2, sse3, sse4a, x86-64

translates to AMD K10 Barcelona, or something very similar

Beginnend met op Barcelona gebaseerde processors, introduceerde AMD de SSE4a- instructieset, die 4 SSE4-instructies en 4 nieuwe SSE-instructies heeft.

This link is in Dutch but important is mainly to know that for Penryn it proved not possible for Ed, and since then the NNUE architecture, from Chris, has become much more complex. You would have to be a pretty good programmer to adapt it to another compiler but you would have to ask Chris. And without another compiler there seems no way to compile Rebel, or most chessprograms for that matter, for something like the Barcelona. Not with MSVC. Maybe Stockfish can be compiled for Barcelona, but alas, not with MSVC either. So there may be a runnable Stockfish for your processor, but it was not compiled with MSVC. They, the Stockfish programmers, dropped support for compiling with MSVC, compile stockfish15 via visual studio #3991

This just to illustrate it will not be so easy to compile Rebel with a different compiler, when the NNUE architecture is all MSVC.

Thank you very much for the very detailed answer. With this I can start something to understand why it does not work that way.

My pleasure entirely. Do not hesitate to ask questions, that is what the forum is for. And I'm not a programmer, so this answer certainly is up for debate.

A correct answer by definition can't be stupid
