Thinker MP

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

Hi Lance,

Thank you for the first multicore Thinker. Is there a special command to use it on a 4-core machine if I want to use only 2 cores?

I'm sorry, but at the moment, it is "fixed" at 4 cores/processors.

Lance, forget this version for a moment. Since 4.7a, you have not put out a version that shows any output at all during the game or in the PGNs. If you are going to keep doing this, which is really a pain for us testers, would you at least tell me your thinking on this and why you wont show the output?

Best,

George

There is very little code that is common between the 4.x and the 5.x versions.

The PV output of Thinker is simply from the hash table. There is no giant PV array in Thinker. You can also see this kind of simplicity in enignes like MicroMax.

Cheers...

Give us a pv of length 1 then. Better than nothing.

Hehe,you guys never give up,don't you



P.S.Hey Dann,didn't know that you're so humble

You guys have got me interested.

Please point me to the topic at CCRL...I've searched but cannot find it.

Thanks

The CCRL has reverse engineered Thinker and now it's showing it's thinking lines
