I have a compilation optimized intel for danasah.

does anyone can download it, put it in the folder danasah, execute danasah and the command "bench" for the two danasah and tell me that compilation is faster?

First compile...
Time 43890 MS
Nodes 22256680
Nodes per second 507101 (score 2.085)


Second Compile (note that I have other programs running but conditions are same)

Time 49719MS
Nodes 22256680
Nodes Per second 447649 (score 1.841)


Weird, the second one is slower here, may be I need to run few and take the average..

Thanks Tony and Werner,

perhaps not so strange.

Perhaps the problem is that I am not a specialist at Intel compiler such as Jim and Denis.

The first compilation is done using PGO microsof visual studio c ++ 2008. The second is made with Intel compiler 10.1.26 and pgo.

If someone wants to try to see if it can make a compilation faster than the visual studio, danasah has a command to train "test".

Pedro

Complex to said, I hope that this version is an improvement.

I only played 120 games blitz between danasah and caligula. DanaSah is about 100 points better than Caligula, I believe that before the difference was minor.
