Release: Nemo 1.0 Beta

[Werner]

It would be almost impossible for me to assume I am the only one who sees Nemo stealing half it's opponents time- leaving him with only 50% of his allotted time. What can I say- I don't guess I will be able to use it.

This is correct!
Nemo uses 1CPU in a eng-eng match, ponder off even when the engine is idle. It does not ponder. I saw this last together with The King.
...and it looks extremly strong for a new engine (2800??)

Hello George,

what do you mean with steal opponents time ?
Nemo definitely steals nothing.

By the way, we are already analyzing potential problems with the
memory allocation. Because you are so far the only one reporting
a problem i will contact you later by pm, if that is ok ?
Maybe with your help we are able to catch sth much faster.

... a "Sleep(1);" in the waiting loop in source code usually fixes this under Windows

Michael- steal time, use half his opponents' time when it should not- it is all semantics. Nothing personal. I have no idea how Nemo gets half the time his opponent should be using- meaning the opponent only get 50% of his time. May be he loans it to Nemo- who knows. HOW Nemo ends up with it is irrelevant. Until it is fixed, neither I nor Werner at CEGT can use it.

Here a screenshot from taskmanager in a ponder off eng-eng match on my quad:

and here result of this test-match with 40/3
Nemo SP64n 1.0 Beta - Frenzee 3.5.19 x64 3.0 - 1.0 (4: +2, =2, -0) 75.00% Perf = +190 Elo

Thx Werner + George, Fix in work.

(but as long as the engines dont use the same core it shouldnt effect anything)

tested the 32o Version with Wine under Ubuntu Linux in Arena, works and looks fast.

I haven't thought through that, but it would not happen for me anyway. On a dual, I would run 2 tournaments with ponder OFF. On a quad- 3 with ponder off and one for normal use.

Thanks and hope it works out.

I'm running a quick eng-eng vs Komodo on my quad, using nemo64o under fritz, ponder off.
I'm using a single cpu Hyperthr off for fritz, in order to have a clear picture of the problem:
from the task manager, when nemo thinks is correctly using 12% of cpu, but when komodo thinks he uses only 6%, and nemo the remaining 6%.
