SD Syzygy

[syzygy]

Hey Ronald, I am curious about the load running Syzygy has on a hard drive. What file size and queue depth are we looking at when the SSD is loading the tablebases?

Queue depth is bounded by the number of search threads. I don't know what you mean by file size, but block size will be small, probably 4K or a small multiple of it. But that also depends on the prefetching policy of the OS, maybe OSes like to page in a large number of memory pages at a time.
