SCCT: Hardware Test 2012

Post by Sedat Canbaz »

Hello Dear Friends,

I am back again after a short break (i was 3 days om holiday)
Normally i planned to be at least 7-10 days on vacation,but...

Btw,I've started a new hardware/time control speed measuring

So the current played results are available under below link:
http://www.sedatcanbaz.com/chess/scct-3 ... -25m2s-1c/

Games:
http://www.sedatcanbaz.com/chess/games/ ... e_2012.rar

Some Notes:
-For better conclusion,we need more games...

But however,
I should admit that i am very much surprised by the current played results
Deep Rybka 4.1 x64 6c 3m+2s's performance is just superior so far...
As we see, even after 29 games,Rybka 4.1 x64 6c 3m+2s has no any single defeat

To be honest,
I expected almost same equal playing strength between 3m+2s 6c vs 25m+2s 1c
*Probably, 40/120 1c is required over 3m+2s 6c :smile:

It seems:
1)Rybka MP scaling is very good and definitely i can say for chess:
- 'The more cores, the better'
2)This short test indicates that SCCT 3m+2s 6c played games are not too bad in quality

One thing more,
I think this saying suits for the current issue:
There is always strength in numbers.
-Unknown


For more details about why i started mainly this test,please read:

More results coming soon !


Greetings,
Sedat

SCCT hardware/time control test is already over!

A few notes more about the current issue:

This test was useful especially for me

I've got the needed information (data) ...

And once more i'd like to point out that:
-I am very glad with the current used SCCT conditions:

Its interesting to note also that:
-Komodo 4 x64 1 core with slower time control performs better than blitz
-It seems,single core testings require slow time controls for better and quality games
