New J.A Compiles

[Jim Ablett]

I am starting a new thread for any new engine compiles that I do, they will be posted here
instead of thread 'New engine releases & news H1 2024' which should be for new releases and updates
from original authors.

Rodent NN by Fabien Letouzey, Thomas Gaksch, Jerry Donald Watson
Rebel NNUE evaluation added by Chris Whittington and Ed Schroder

Rodent from Pawel Koziol is one of those engines with an excellent HCE evaluation.


Rodent IV 0.22 is rated 2988 on CCRL and 2998 on GRL.

We decided to move Rodent to NNUE evaluation, created a dataset of 800 million analyzed positions with Rodent 4.022 and moved the 800 million positions into the learner,
tested the new created net with Rebel and Rodent NN gained about 200 elo over Rodent 4.022


In reality the Rodent net is actually 300 elo stronger when Pawel will implement the net into his own (Rodent) source code.

Credits


Fabien Letouzey, Thomas Gaksch, Jerry Donald Watson for Toga.


Ed Schröder for creating the 800M neural net and improving the Toga search.


Chris Whittington for the NNUE development system creating neural nets and the necessary NNUE code.


Rodent NN is released under the GPLv3 licence.

Not a new release but new compiles.

Toga IV v1.1 NNUE by Fabien Letouzey, Thomas Gaksch, Jerry Donald Watson
Rebel NNUE 14.2 evaluation added by Chris Whittington and Ed Schroder

Toga IV - UCI engine ( based on Toga II 4.0 now with Rebel 14.1 NNUE evaluation
Rating CEDR=3078

Toga IV is somewhat less stronger than Rebel 14.1 but offers you:
• Multiple threading up to 64 threads;
• MultiPV up to 10 moves.
Offered to you in cooperation with Chris Whittington.

Thx,

but not working for my old pc with sse2 sse3...

How can I compile this engine for these old pc's?

How can I compile this engine for these old pc's?

If you are compiling yourself take a look at the makefile and change the '-march' & '-mtune' switches
to '-march=core2' and '-mtune=core2' but sometimes the code requires at least sse4.1.
In that case you will have to replace specific sse4.1 routines with sse3 ones. You can compile on Windows
with Msys2 or Mingw64.

I can compile for older (sse2/sse3) cpus on request. I didn't think there would
be many people still using these now, sse4.1/4.2 capable cpus date back to 2014.

Any one can pm me if they require a specific compile with sse/sse3 and I will see
what I can do. I will post an sse2/3 version of Toga IV NNUE here later.

Jim.

You will also have to edit the 'simd.cpp' file and change the follows macros at the top of the file to 'false'
so it will use portable software routines.

#define USE_SSE false
#define USE_AVX2 false

I had another attempt. This version was cross-compiled on an old core2duo laptop
running Linux. Let me know how you get on.

Same link as before.

That warning maybe a problem but I think it can be ignored. It's warning that '-mavx2' isn't enabled.
AVX2 instructions are being emulated with sse instructions.

All engines with NNUE by default need at least sse4 and usually avx2 as well. These need to be emulated for a cpu without
these instructions. I used the the libraries here > https://github.com/simd-everywhere/simde
